Vortrech Universal Carburetted Big Block Chevrolet
"Low Mount" Supercharger Kit - Gen 2
|
This is a "universal" supercharger kit designed for vehicles equipped with carburetted big block Chevrolet engines.
 System Dimensions
- This system requires the installer to supply a high volume fuel pump and properly jetted 4150 style carburettor unit (with mechanical secondaries)
- We have verified this kit to fit on 1964-1972 Chevelle / Malibu models equipped with a cowl induction hood. Minor bottom-side hood support modifications may be required dependingupon the type of intake manifold installed on the engine.
- This kit may also fit other Chevrolet models, but has not been confirmed
- Horsepower gains (depending onboost levels, engine volumetric efficiency etc.): 30-75%+
- Supplied pulley ratio will produce approximately 5-6 psi at 5000 rpm on a mildly modified 454" engine
- Installation time: 4-10 hours depending on application

Please Note
This system was designed to fit on engines equipped with a "long" water pump. Vortech includes a 3-groove accessory drive crank pulley (for use with "long" style water pumps only). If this kit is to be installed on an engine equipped with a "short" water pump, a custom accessory drive crank pulley and spacer will be required.
For engines equipped with power steering, a remote reservoir (GM "type 2") style pump will be required as well as an optional Vortech power steering pump bracket and pulley assembly. Depending on the vehicle, power steering lines may require fabrication.
Power steering pump: OE on 1987 GM Pontiac Sunbird, NAPA # 20-874
Vortech power steering bracket/pulley assembly: 4GA110-010
