Shorrcok Supercharger+Felicia Pick-up 1.3mpi

[stuball]

A good friend of mine has come across not 1, but 2 mint Shorrcok superchargers.

I understand these were the mutts.... back in the 60's and 70's. being fitted to mini A series engines.

My friend has just sold 1 of the pair on ebay for what i would say, is a small fortune. He is a chap who likes to fiddle with engines, and I'm half way convincing him to lendind the remainding supercharger so we and afew other friends could fit it to my pick-up 1.3mpi. Which we all use regualy.

Has any1 else superchaged a 136 1.3mpi?

do you know which shorrock supercharger it is??? my guess is that it may be too big for a 1300cc engine, but good luck anyway, sounds like a fantastic project

Didn't a major manufacturer of cars, probably Rover, buy up a load of stock of superchargers that were designed for big engines cheaply, and use them on small engines? I seem to have difficulty remembering any specific details about anything, lol. But I'm sure I remember hearing something along these lines.

yeah, they used to stick the C75 on the rover v8 engines

no i don't know which 1 it is, it is a small volume charger.

the lad who has it is making a 1.9 16v G60 for his carrado, and its too small 4that. which is good news for the pick-up.
