Very impressive. I've had the idea that a long stroke flathead should respond really well to a centrifugal supercharger. Am gathering the parts to build one myself.

How did yours work out? Do you agree that the McCulloch supercharger and flathead combo work well?

What kind of belt tensioner do you use? Can you tell me how much tension is necessary to make the blower drive work correctly?

Would be very interested in any advice you can give. I shouldn't say this on a Packard forum but the engine I have in mind is not a Packard it's a six cylinder that rhymes with Sly Cur.
