Good for you, Joe. I hope I get to eat my words. I had a 1959 TR3A with a
Judson Supercharger. I broke the crank and cracked the block warming up for
an autocross at an early NATC in Illinois. The bottom end of the Triumph
engine appears to be a weak link. The Judson directions said something o the
effect of, "Do not use on a modified engine." At least when I did it, they
were right. I hope you find a path that works.
