Jay was one of the pioneers of the twin plug setup for the Type 4 back in the day as well. If I remember right he used a Nissan distributor to control the four extra plugs.
As for blowers, currently I would use anything from Eaton. They are light years ahead of most others on the market as far as efficiency. The Buick and Pontiac 3.8 litre V6 engines used a perfect size Eaton for the Type four. You could port and polish the insides to increase the efficiency. Use a modern fuel injection and you might have a chance of getting the engine to live long enough to make a reasonable amount of power. But in the end your still dealing with an engine that was borderline to begin with as far as cooling and cylinder head design. You will be lucky to keep the heads on long enough to make any reasonable power. I would also worry about the small nose bearing on the crankshaft. The extra stress from the blower drive could prove too much for that tiny bearing. I know Ford Added a supplemental bearing support for the nose of the crankshaft on the Supercharged Cobras. |
