Super Charger for a 351C?

01-02-2002, 06:28 AM

I have been looking for a super charger for my buddies 351c for his mid 70s FORD truck. Perferably a roots style, but just about anything you can tell me about might work. All I seem to be able to find is Blowers that stick out of the hood. URL's please! TIA

Paxton used to make a kit that was a centrifugal. They've been making them since the 1950's...

A roots blower on a Cleveland in a 70's Ford truck should fit under the hood. If you don't want a blower on top of the engine you might find a kit intended for a Pantera that would work. They were built with a 351 Cleveland and there used to be a decent aftermarket for them.

B&M used to make one but I think holley bought the B&M blower division.What that truck really needs is a 400M Built up.

400M? Unless you find one out of a very early 70's mid size, and are very lucky, it won't bolt up to the trans, and if you are going to change the trans to the big bellhousing, you might as well get a 460 and mod that.. no need for a blower.. Of course, a 408ci Windsor with EFI, and a Novi2000 would be nice in there,and you could get any heads you wanted, and have a nice easy 550+ reliable hp....

Are you sure it is a 351c and not a 351m.

Yep! Its not the same engin that came in this truck origanily. This whole truck is rebuilt and in perfect condition.
