    Supercharging a PI headswapped stang....input needed

    Okay, so I have always read its a no-no, don't do it, compression ratio is too high to do it. Well, I thought I was okay with this, but I guess I am not. I was looking around on procharger's website and I found this chart. According to that chart, someone who has a PI swapped car...

    Okay, my headswap is done, everything is in place, ready to fire it up, but I have not added the coolant yet. Do I just need to fill the coolant reservoir and then keep filling it while the car runs? I have never drained a coolant system before, so I have no idea what to do now that there is...
