Are there any casters that are making a mid-late '60's Paxton superchargers? The Avanti kit has the style I'm looking for, but I'd rather not part out two kits just for the superchargers. But I will if I have to.

Doesn't the Avanti kit come with R2 twin supercharger option? 2 units on the engine.

Yep.

The AMT Barris Surf Woody has a twin Paxton setup for a Ford smallblock too.

The Surf Woody can be found for under $20 including shipping, and is a goldmine of other kool parts as well.

Was not aware the Avanti had twins in it. The Surf Woody looks to be the ticket; twin superchargers and typically cheaper than the Avanti. Problem solved. Thanks all.

Jangus, I have a Surf Woody that I'm not planning to use the Paxtons on. I'd be glad to send them to you, if they'll work. The setup is for a small block ford and looks like this:

I am planning to use the kit intake manifold and carbs, but can let you have the belt/pulleys, lower support, blowers, blower backs, blower hoses, and pressure pots. Email me if you're interested: SnakeACP45 at AOL dot com.
