Supercharge a 4.9L six

[Funky Cricket]

lower your boost goals.
superchargers don't need as much boost to make a great impact at low rpm, if you stick to 9lbs or so, you don't have to rework your internals (besides a good rebuild if it is high miles) and you'll see a significant jump in low end torque and HP, your high rpm numbers won't be that of a turbo motor, but you won't take that 300 above 5k very often anway.

you'll still need to make one slick mount for an eaton roots type though. I would love to see it!

Has little to do with difficulty of.

Dont guess at a camshaft.

The minimal fee it would require of you, to get an expert opinion, would far outweigh the loss, should you replace the camshaft.

Measure twice, cut once.

Since my grandfather just had it rebuilt, or dropped a new engine in her, I am sure she's all good to go. I will have to wait and see what I want to do with the supercharger, but I am probably not going to go to heavy anymore since my wife got alittle angry on how much it would cost. She wants a minivan more than I want a powerful I6. I don't blame her, but maybe I cna throw some power into her minivan when she's not looking, or something just to mess with her .

This is designed for a 302, might be able to adapt to a 300 with a custom manifold. Long snout would place the discharge near the center of the manifold. Weiand Powercharger, formerly B&M, Holley...they still make it.
