Default idea!!!what u think

one of my projects is a 65 fairlane. It has a 289 v8 but im gonna swap in a 302 bored out to a 306 and paxton offers a centrifugal supercharger kit for carburated 289s and it consist of a supercahrger forcing air into a box that the carb is mounted in. I was gonna kind of used that idea but the kit comes with a novi 1200 supercharger and i was gonan try and install twin novi 2000 superchargers with a twin carb manifold and a custom air box. What dou think? Any suggestions or comments?

Some might call it "Polishing a turd", but I get a woody for anything with forced induction.

I used to run a 66 Fairlane with a 427 and a 67 with a 460 both were imposible to get to hook up. Get a 9" rear with good axles, I broke a lot of 8" ----. The botom end of the 302 is weak, you are going to have to use ARP studs and bolts and forged rods to get it to last. Sounds like a cool project but its going to cost a fortune to get it right.
