I was farting around in the junkyard yesterday and found a Mercedes supercharger that is a variant of the Eaton M62 model that is said to be good for 2.0L to 4.0L engines, and can be seen installed on several Defender 90's that I found on the internet with 4.0L v8's. I even read about anothe guy who used two of them on his 502! 502/2= 251ci
So I might try and fab it up and see if I can get it running on my 4.0L:D after alot of research of course! I know I'll have to mod the fuel and ignition but I already have the Crane HI6S ignition so I can retard the timing for boost that way easily. this will not be like 8lbs of boost but maybe more like around 4lbs maybe, dunno for sure yet need to do more calcualtions to find out.
here are a few pics to get you an idea (not my pics but looks the same)

and the reason I said Mad Max style is b/c this blower has a magnetic clutch on it so it can be turned on and off with a switch:D
I'm still bouncing the idea around and am not for sure if I will end up using it or selling it on ebay for a profit....
yeah... yeah... I know go to JU LOL:best:
