I find only rumors of autorotors, but no sign that they actually exist. Are there any actual replacements for the eaton-style stock blower? Having a Kenne Bell on my '90 Mustang GT has me spoiled for the better performance of the more efficient screw type blowers.

I have thinking of doing the same to my MCS. I have friend that is willing to develop one for me. I just need to buy a stock SC to figure out the bracket setup.
Thanks,
Carl

The problem is the supercharger isnt a stock eaton. Its designed to drive the waterpump off the back, which creates some serious issues with upgrading...

the BMP turbo car uses the standard cooper waterpump, which is the only reliable way to go I've seen so far...

I think the piston compression ratio on the MC is too high for the added boost of the supercharger. I would doubt if that is the only problem. Good luck.

There are lots of diffrences internally between the 2 enginges that would caus problems with the Supercharger. The S is a bit befier, and has some additional cooling features.

You could always just pick up the whole engine from a wreck, and do a swap though :smile:

dont forget the hood, intake manifold, waterpump, bracketry, throttlebody, and all the tubing associated with it. I don't think you'll need the tranny but you'll need the hood!

You'd be better off trading the MC for a MCS. It would be a lot cheaper in the long run.

AmD and BBR have Roots-replacement superchargers for their ultra-high horsepower packages, though I'm not sure what exactly they use.
