Hi guys, I have an opportunity to pick up a single barrel carb intake and could use a 20,000 foot answer on this. Is is reasonably possible to modify the manifold to accept a supercharger out of an old Riviera or whatever else I can scrounge from a junkyard? Sincerely, Paul Barrow |

If you mean from a Buick or Pontiac turbocharger, the answer is yes. Several have done it, including myself with a Corvair turbo. |

Thanks guys, this will be way down the road, but if I can get the manifold cheap I figure I can hold onto it. Joshie, I'll keep your notes handy for when I finally get there! Sincerely, Paul PS: Hoping to get my frame in the next few weeks to mount the engine in. PPS: What books would you recommend? |

Will it be port fuel injected? If so, the answer is no. The base plate for a GM M90 will be too wide and there will be no room for the injectors on the runners. |
