questions about supercharged motor

[entdoc]

I am considering buying a 347 with a centrifigal supercharger for the 67 restomod. The car now has a stock 5.0 with power steering and AC. How difficult do you think it would be to add a power steering pump and AC compressor to the 347?

It would depend on the supercharger kit. But if it's a standard 5.0 kit, then it should work with stock 5.0 and some aftermarket accessory pulleys-brackets.
BTW: That is going to be one fun car!

As stated, it depends on which SC kit you use. I am running a 5.0 kit and have the 5.0 serpentine belt and a/c but no p/s. I hope you are not planning on running much boost with a stock block. Mine dynoed at 481 rwhp with 9 psi on a 302. That's about max for that block without worrying about breaking.

I just completed putting a Vortech supercharger on my 5.0 engine in my 68. I have a unique combination of PS and AC brackets. I already invested in a March PS bracket but wanted to leave myself the option of adding AC later. I kept the march bracket and modified an original 5.0 AC bracket. I basically gut the PS portion off and only left enough metal to mount the AC at a later point. I then had to modify the bolts and spacers for my combo. I think it looks good and if you want a picture let me know.

The motor comes with a 9 and 6psi pulley and dynos at 460 or so, stock block,8.4 compression pistons

I am also running a blown 347 with a 9# pulley and used an mid 80's LTD drivers side serp. bracket but only have the alt. mounted so far. I would like to see that picture also, can you post it here? If not please email to [email protected]
