Re: would this supercharger fit my clipper 352cid

I second what Jack says and expand it. The supercharger off of the Lightning was also used in the newer Mustang Cobra models. There is a catch, though. The earliest Lightnings had a 351W, which would be a different supercharger than the 4.6L and 5.4L Ford modular V8's. And no, I don't know the specs of them. If you're looking to put a roots type supercharger on one, then I'd be scouring the swap meets for something no bigger than a 6-71. A 4-71 would probably be perfect for the street, and would be cheaper to boot. Personally, after all I've experienced with forced induction on a Packard, you can't beat the small size and ease of installation a centrifugal supercharger has going for it. You can mount it almost anywhere, and it doesn't have to be right on top of the intake. Of course, a Roots doesn't HAVE to be either, but 99% of them are.
