McCulloch/Paxton supercharger installations

[62rebel]

i must have a dozen Paxton style and maybe four McCulloch style superchargers, mostly from the AMT '57 Ford and the Surf Woody.... would love to sneak one into a "real" prototype build but not finding much to go on except Studey r-3 and r-4's. the carb box in the AMT '57 is apparently not typical of ANY installation.... the Studebaker installation has a carb cover but looks very small.

also holding a few Latham coaxial supes... not much to look at.

if it wasn't apparent already, i prefer hiding powerful engines under stock hoods....

preliminary research is telling me that the AMT '57 "paxton" supe isn't a match for any particular design at all.

wonderful that i saved so MANY of them. the boxes are virtually non-descriptive of anything actual, and the kit doesn't supply the unique air cleaner for the supercharged 312.

that one showed me the nice aluminum carb top that i think can be fabbed out of one of my ubiquitous '49 Ford air cleaners; the hoses and actual air filter i'd need to fake.

Here is the restored CSX 3015-the 'Bill Cosby' Super Snake. Not a 'sleeper' hood scoop but you can use up two of those McC's in one build:

Oh wow, I thought that car was destroyed!

It was. I said this is the restored 3015.
