I love the Marine Corps. Im getting my flanges and supercharger plate cut out for free tomorrow. Just to give a heads up. I will be making this supercharger kit for the sohc for use with the eaton m62 and selling them once mine is done and bugs worked out. It will have complete intructions...depending how much i include in the kit will determine the price...so keep your eyes peeled for that in the very near future... and thanks white guy

I have the up most faith in this methanol injection...my buddy used to run this on his supercharged eclipse(v6) and he would beat the life out of it all day...pop the hood and there would be frosties on his supercharger....he was running 100%meth. Im only gonna be running 50/50 since its running through my car. but its also intercooled with a mishimoto radiator...

side note, roll cage comes on monday so tuesday its gonna start entering the car. I still have to remove the cat hump...gotta great idea for that. Im still port matching up the intake manifold, and got to still do the exhaust manifold. as soon as i get the cage in and the interior rhyno lined im towing her home and awaiting my completion of the engine. that still needs valve seals, intake valves, dual cam powersteering pump and bracket and line. I was also told my plates for the super charger will be done around tuesday, hoping wednesday since the hobby shop is closed wed and thurs

Good news and some bad news.
First good, I got the sc plate and flanges, they are awesome, slight very slight fitment issues but it will be worked out before any go for sale.
bad...my brand new truck broke...powersteering leak and transmission went to shiz, and my camera was left in the glove box so you will all have to wait for pics...also might need to modify the hood...i mean will

the cage is now fully welded in. I also modified the "cat hump" so that the seat bar goes sraight as opposed to "___/---" it aint the most beautiful but it wont be seen much either. I also bought a lincoln welder. I got tired of paying 12 bucks an hour to weld. Ill snap some more pics on friday when the shop opens again. I have to make new door panels since my door cannot shut with them on...ive got a wonderful plan for that!

yeah thats how it will go...and under careful mental debate i am tapping the supercharger for the meth nozzle and the needed vaccuum lines. I just today mounted up my lines to my hydraulic ebrake. I will be showing many pics of this since I could not find many for a 240. Also ran the meth supply line up to the engine bay. tomorrow is somewhat of a wiring day...maybe...

so did you make it up to the autorama (auto expo) in fortuna? some pretty nice cars there this year. there was a twin turbo early 40's or 50's pickup that was made into an extended cab, with a custom bed. it was pretty sweet.
