Fuel Efficient Super Charging?
Heres what I got...
1968 Chevy C10, 350, .030 over, 881? Casting heads, flat tops, Comp Cams 292H, Demon 850, Weind 144 Blower
I was towing my Jeep home and the water pump belt broke. I was on a fast moving highway with nowhere to pull off. Temp went to 260 degrees, I couldn't stop pinging and popping like crazy. Next day, wristpin is slapping. So I need a new motor.
Income tax is coming soon and I was messing with the idea of TBI. Think I could find, build and drop in a 350TBI and get low teens gas mileage and still be supercharged? Even 11/12MPG will be fine. But the more the merrier.
No clue on building a supercharged TBI motor, like inject work, sensors... I've had no problems with my carb'd motor but this fuel injection stuff is new to me.
Help Please...
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
