74coupe Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 Hey got a supercharger on the way from a fellow member, and i'll be fitting it to my 5k motor eventually when its built. But going to put it on the 3 k for now.. But are 3/4/5k extractors the same? So if I chuck them on I either just have to wait for new one or no probs, And what's the best carby and cam for the 5k motor? It's not a daily and will have the sc14 on it. Manual too.. And any other engine mods that will,help.. Cheers guys. Quote
snot35 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Bolt pattern is the same, so they'll bolt up. The 4K and 5K blocks are roughly 10mm taller so the outlet may foul on steering gear for the floor of the passenger foot well when you change to the taller block. You may need to do some "adjusting". Carby wise, probably anything that you can tune. Are you going for suck through, or blow through? This may have some bearing on your choice. Cam wise, a lot of cam places talk about "turbo grinds". I believe they change the overlap so hold combustion pressure or vice versa. It might be good to talk to a cam place about that. I think you could probably chuck just about anything better than stock in there and reap rewards, but like an N/A motor the wilder you go the less drive able it will be. I'd wait till the 5K and SC is all set up before messing with the cam. You're going to have plenty of fun sorting brackets, pulleys etc. :) Edited May 20, 2012 by snot35 Quote
