Hey everyone my supercharger finally made it here from Scotland!!! I figure
I will start gathering the rest of the parts and building the engine for my
Bugeye late next month. It will be a Shorrock Supercharged 1380 with the
5-speed transmission conversion. The Shorrock is built to race spec. and is
designed to put out 10 psi at 5500 rpms. This engine should be a goer!!!
Eh?!!
I know what you all are saying "the walls will be too thin". The design
calls for at least a A+ block if not a Cooper block. I have a Metro block
for this build, and we intend to rig up all the proper mounts. I will keep
ya'll informed of the developments as they occur.
If any of you have used a Shorrock before and have info please pass it
along.
