My First Time Being Blown!

McCulloch Supercharged Chevy 283

This is it! I have been dinkin’ around with this McCulloch/Paxton junk for years, but tonight I actually made it happen!

Kaiser/McCulloch Blower on a Chevy 283

I had been mocking it up, finished up getting the new radiator ready to go on, and I said, “Awww….. what the hell!”

I was really close, but I would have to fudge a few things temporarily; I loosen an re-clocked the supercharger snout to point directly into the carb hat, and tightened the hell out of the tensioner pulley/bracket dealy-o because I still hadn’t made the adjuster yet. No reinforcement for it head unit, either, but that’s coming real soon, too!

Here’s the videos….




I can’t stop giggling like some kind of mad scientist!! I lust to drive it again now!!

I’ve been told that blowers fix a world of evils, including big cam issues and other stuff… it might be time for a Duntov 30/30 camshaft and maybe some better cylinder heads…….after I screw the thing back together so I can drive it, of course!!

More video to come, I’m sure!!
