Thread: 4-53 supercahrger help!!!

Tweet

4-53 Jimmy blower is off a 4-cylinder engine with 53 cubes per cylinder, for a total of only 212 cubes. Its going to be marginal, even for your modest requirements , on a 360. You'll have to overdrive it a lot. A 4-71 (4 cyl., 71 cubes per cyl.} would be better, but you already have the '53, so.....
It is possible to mill a standard 4-bbl manifold so the flange is parallel to the crank plane and build a plate to bolt the blower to. I did that with a Chevy/4-71. Use a serpentine belt and (hopefully) it will slip when it backfires and not need a blow-off valve.
