Paxton ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Is there a Paxton Supercharger available for a SMF ?

If by "SMF" you mean "small block Ford"...

There's two on a SBF in the Barris Surf Woody.  

With a little fab work, you can make it into a single installation.

The 1950s and later Paxton is basically the same as a similar period McCulloch...though different.

There's a single McCulloch on one of the Revell '57 Fords too, but the engine is a Y-block with a totally different intake manifold from a SBF.

The Avanti kit has a Paxton/McCulloch setup too, but of course it's a Studebaker engine.

Use one of the Paxton centrifugal blowers listed above, fab mounting brackets and a belt drive, use a 4-bbl manifold, scratch or modify something to make the airbox.

An old Chevy mechanical fuel injection box might be a place to start for a ribbed airbox.

Then make up a connection pipe from the compressor to the airbox from sprue or something similar.

Perhaps this can be a starting place.

Available with optional Top Loader, too. Should be an excellent unit for a Shelby build.
