pistons?
rods?
crank?
block mods?
cam specs?
carb or efi?
If carb, what mods?
Anything else "unusual" you had to do to set it up for a procharger?
Thanks
The engine is a 496 stroker. I had a 493 stroker RB kit in the car from 440 source. Then decided I was going to do a Hemi conversion with my 440 block but its hard to get those heads from Stage V. So having the custom Diamond pistons already. I bought a World aluminum Block and had it bored to 4.360 to work with the pistons I already had. No mods necessary to the world block other than machining, its ready for big power out of the crate.
9.1 Diamond Pistons
440 source I-beam rods.
4.150 440 source crankshaft.
The cam was a Superchargerstore special cam for the Hemi conversion. Bob and Terry have a low deck hemi they built with those heads.
I'll add a pic of the cam card.
I run fuel injection.I prefer that.You can run a blow through carb.The Supercharger Store sells a complete Kit or you can piece it together.
Its expensive to get the kit.So most buy pieces at a time. The blow through carbs usually cost about 1200.00 Now FITECH makes a self learning blow through EFI for about the same price. Even though You can but the injection for 1200.00 you still need a strong fuel system
to run it with the supercharger and that's usually another 700.00 depending on the horsepower your try to do do.
You don't really need to run an intercooler with a blow through carb set up as long as you run water/methanol but I would.With fuel injection its almost a must,do to the heat from the supercharger head unit.The Intake Air Sensor will throw a code as it starts to get hot and you'll have problem with tuning.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Thanks,Joe
