Good idea or bad?

Why, there will always be something faster, like the guy with the twin turbo 07 and 900 hp
Just concentrate on fixing it up and enjoying it.

Good or bad idea is a choice of your own. Carroll Shelby did a limited production of 11 1966 Shelby GT-350's with Paxton Superchargers. In 1968 the Paxton Supercharger was available as a dealer installed option. Paxton currently makes kits designed for the 1964-1968 Mustang.

Hope this at least gives you some info to consider for your project.

You need to make sure the block and car will take forced induction. Those old cars wernt meant to have mods of that caliber because there wernt used as much as there are today. Build the rear end first start from the back and work your way to the front because yea a supercharger may not brake the engine but the drive shaft might not be able to take it or the axle. Trust me it will be money well spent because a stock power plant will not brake a modded rear end but a souped up motor may a usually does brake other things. You have to worry about alot more when you start playing with forced induction . To be safe go to a mod shop and tell them your planes and ask them to help you build the car up to prepare it for the supercharger because its an old car and the technology today with the superchargers we have it will take some work. But if you like you car and wanna keep it awhile than DO NOT just through a supercharger on it and hit the streets

I am always a lover of classics, and big motors. Yes, there will always be someone out there faster than you, but why not try!!
I say good idea, if you have the dough- go for it!
Make sure you have a cam in it though, there is nothing like the sound of an 8 with headers and a cam!!

I understand that resto-rods are making a move in the collector car interests. I would still think that you would be better off just restoring it back to orginal condition.
It's your car and you are entitled to do whatever you want with it. Either way it is still a classic, so you can't lose. good luck.

Can you even FIT a supercharger on a Hot Wheels?
