has anyone put a centrifigal supercharger on there c3 i am wanting to do this but also want to keep alt. ps and ac but i don't know how everything will fit or if it even will fit any ideas :auto:

I have not seen any c3 with one and I am pretty sure there are no kits. I am converting to FI with the new LT1 intake and really want to try putting one in. There is a supercharger for carbs but kits are for Chevelles and old Bel Airs. The one problem I see is the low hood line but once you get rid of that big shroud and fan assembly there is tons of room up front. Might have to use a rev flow one so the bulk of the supercharger is toward the rad and the pulley is in line.

This guy has one.

Thanks for the link, I will have to e-mail him to see how he got it to fit and what brackets he is using. I still want FI but maybe I can use that as my supercharger and pipe it into FI tb. :thumbs:

I saw one here in Sweden who had one on his C3.I was on a SB and he had a pressurebox around the carb.No IC..It was tight but doable :thumbs: :cheers:

Vette guys/girls are :cool: all around the world. E-mailed Fredik from the above link and he e-mailed me back aleady:

Hi Chris,
I can try to take some more pics under the hood and e-mail you later if you
like.
I started like this :
First I bought a kit for a Chev 350 from ATI and modified the bracket for
the supercharger and the powersteering bracket, then I change side for the
altenator to the right.
I also used a long waterpump.

Then I bought 3 volvo intercoolers and made one of them as you can see in
the pics , but now I have bought a used ATI 3 core intercooler and modified
it so it fit
To have enough hood clerance for the tubing (3") from the intercooler I
used a big block hood from a -73 (L88)corvette and change the angle of the
radiator to lean backwards + electric fan.

But it´s very tight with everything under the hood and it will also build
up alot of heat under the hood( keep that in mind)

When I built this car my idea was to not destroy anything , and if I´d
like, I could to go back to original again

I think it put out 14-15 psi now but it´s a little hard to look at the gauge
when you have all this power kicking...

Good luck.

Feel free to send more questions, and I will try to help you out
