hay had a thought if you get a v6 supercharger blocked of the pipe that hangs out the back weld it up or something. then growned down a flat spot on the top cut a hole and welded a 1ich spacer plate on top then bolt carby to that. i dont no much about how they work but just an idea?????? any one

Why not buy a whole blown 6 from a V2 or VS or whatever and put it in. Probably cheaper and more reliable in the end.

Forget all of those pretend superchargers & get one of those 4/71 fisher blower kits for your engine, WAY better looking... and not rear entry.

Because that would be really, really shit. 

 

Not to mention you wouldnt be able to register it in most states. 

 

Why wouldn't it be registerable Bomber? If a Supercharged or turbo 202 is legal surely a supercharged 3.8 would be (with Engineering which a supercharged 202 would need today anyway)?

 

They are 171kW. Not my taste but a whole one of these engines is cheap, whole cars are cheap.

OK I get it, I didn't realize it was an LC-LJ.

[SA EH]

But it's an FB.

[yel327]

You can Engineer a V8 in an old Holden so a blown 6 would be probably OK?

[yel327]

I was just speaking from experience, no idea what a FB weighs but i recon it would be similar to a LH/LX. 

 

Also, 175kw is pathetic, not worth the wiring gremlins. 

 

Cheers. 

 

That is 171kW net, probably in early 70's gross figures it'd probably be over 325hp, maybe 350hp. An injected 304 from a VN-VSIII was only 165kW.

 

A pollution red 308 was 250hp or so in gross figures but only about 125kW net.

 

So one of these supercharged engines whilst not my favourite thing would go probably better than a worked 308 or injected 304.

 

The stock V6 in my Hilux dynoed at 127kW at the rear wheels, which probably would be close to 171kW net at the engine, one of these engines in a light car like an FB would be pretty quick too.

You do see a lot of VN- VS V6 engines in old Holdens, just thought a blown one would be a natural progression if you wanted to stay with 3/4 of the proper number of pistons!

From an old grey?
I get the attraction from the ease of fitting a modern ULP ready efficient engine with air and steer all sorted for you on the engine, and also the ease of fitting an overdrive auto or manual without adaption. My VSIII manual ute easily got over 30mpg. Plus a whole car costs $500 and no rebuilding needed if you pick the right one.
But if it was me going to the trouble i'd rather fit an injected 304 or LS engine into a HK than bother with earlier stuff.

hi yea no way i would put v6 commy motor in my fb i like the 6 

clayton the 4/71 would be nice but come at a cost and still trying to keep under bonnet maybe a little scoop if need 

as said just a thought 

[yel327]

^^That is what I was getting at, to get a UC down the quarter in 10.4 you'd want a pretty well sorted Holden 6 and I doubt it'd be as reliable or as fuel efficient.
