Picked this up yesterday...
I'm still undecided. I've had so many V8 cars, including a Hemi RR that I bought new in '68, a 69 440GTX, and a number of V8 "A" bodies... even a 71 Swinger that I put a 426 Hemi in back in 1974. I haven't had a Slant car since the mid 60's lol...
This car is a low optioned slant car with a 904 and a 7-1/4. The idea of a supercharged and EFI slant is really intriguing to me. I've also considered a few different multi-carb set ups. The idea of a 4Bbl, seems to be too common to me. I lve them, but I want to do something a little out of the ordinary. That's why I'm thinking about a centrifugal supercharger. It fits under the hood, and it's about 1/3 the price (and room) of a turbo.
This is going to be a weekender, and a local car show car... Something I can drive to local car shows, sit in a beach chair behind it, and just socialize. But I want it to be something that make the on lookers ask about. Something that a little different, still relatively conventional, reliable, very drive-able, and can still turn out about 300-325 HP.
The pic below illustrates what I'm envisioning. This is in a 72 Duster...
