Hello everyone, I am new to this forum so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Fernando and I own a 1970 cadillac deville with a 472 engine. The 1970 472 engine is considered by many one of the best engines ever designed. It has a 10:1 compression and stock it produces 370 horses and 520 ft/lb torque. However do to a very bad experience with a mechanic shop, I no longer have that engine.
I am being offered a 74 500 cadillac engine at a decent price. Although this engine is the same plant as mine, it was dumbed down due to the gas embargo at the time. The compression was dropped to 8.5:1 and the numbers dropped to 280 hp and 380 ft/lb torque.
If I were to buy that engine and add a supercharger:
1. How much would the supercharger and installation cost me?
2. What gains in performance can I expect to see?
3. How feasible is this.
Thanks everyone for the advice
