the engine must stay mopar.
they are very expensive for a proper full supercharger kit for a mopar, would be cool though like like the mad max falcon
I have been reading this article

basically they take an engine identical to mine just with headers instead of manifolds and it makes 187 hp, 305 lbft on an engine dyno.
they then simply add high comp pistons to the stock rotating assembly, a high lift cam with bigger valves and a little head porting with 3 angle valve seats, toped of with a 4bbl intake and 650 cfm carb.
it then runs 324 hp, 365 lbft but most importantly it holds over 300 lbft from 2500 - 6000 rpm !
i don't want silly power but 300hp, 300lbft would be nice and give it the power the muscle cars of the era had.
i want to get it going and do a few miles in it and make sure the driveline is all ok so i know what needs rebuilding when i strip it for paint later this year.
theres always the turbo option aswell but id have to go efi i wouldn't fancy carb blow through, supercharging is what i like but its not in the budget unless i can find a second hand kit maybe, and it would have to be an overhead roots type sticking out of the bonnet
