Supercharger
I am looking for a supercharger for a carburated 1983 351 windsor engine. I can't afford new so does anyone know where i can find a used or rebuilt one? I have found a lot of good deal on superchargers at online auction sites but they don't come with an intake manifold. So where can i find a supercharger intake for a 351w????

Nevermind i found one. If i get an intake adapter from PME a Holley 174 powercharger blower will bolt right up and give me 120% more horsepower. Unfortunately the powercharger is $2400 (anyone want to make a donation?). Hopefully i can find a used one on ebay someday.

It's actually a cheap ($75) brushguard from JCWhitney. I've had it for over a year now and it still looks great, i just polish it once every couple weeks with chrome polish. Last winter i slid off the road and hit a telephone pole head on at 15 MPH. The only damage was a small gouge on the brush guard. It saved my truck from about $2000 worth of damage. Not to bad for a no name JCWhitney product.

Jon,
What kind of Super Swampers do you have in the picture? I don't see many tire setups on our generation of Ford's that really "stick out" (both literally and figurtively speaking), but those look awesome on your truck! My next tires will be Super Swampers and I was thinking of going with the TSL radials. Just wondering what kind yours were. Thanks, in advance. Great looking truck!
My truck:
1990 F-150 4x4 XLT Lariat
Short bed, Regular Cab, Charcoal Gray
Rebuilt 302 V8
4.10 Gear ratio with limited slip
Crane Cams Compucam
K&N FIPK
Gibson shorty headers
High flow Cat. with 3" exhaust
Flowmaster "40 Series" muffler with dual turndowns
Tough Country 4" suspension lift with extended radius arms
Ultra 15x10" aluminum wheels
Dunlop 35x12.50" Mud rover tires
Alpine CD7840 cd player
Alpine amp.
Infiniti 6.5" speakers with seperate tweeters
MTX truck box subs
Delta diamond plated toolbox/diamond plated bed rail caps
A few other minor knick-knacks...
Mods. to come:
Front grill/brush gurard
Superchip
MSD ignition system
Superswampers (TSL radials?)
Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads
Edelbrock throttle body/intake manifold
Edelbrock shorty headers
Edelbrock water pump
