A Graham Supercharger and the Dodge 218...Rev B

When I was in college, I built a modified roaster, jokingly named the "choadster".  Most people would refer to it as a ratrod, but it was built before all of that really started to get popular.  I always had intentions of finishing it, but never really seemed to get around to it.  Anyway, for an engine, I used a 218 dodge flathead.  It was small, ran well and a T5 5 speed mated up to a tuck bellhousing remarkably easily.  Eventually, after I had the thing running for about a year, I stumbled across a '36 Graham Paige supercharger and knew that it had to be on it.

After some interesting fabrication, I eventually did get it all to work.  It didn't make much boost and probably made as much power as is it took to drive it, but it was different and certainly got people talking.

Fast forward to a couple of months ago, and a guy called out of the blue.  He said that he saw the choadster about 5 years prior and had always wanted to put a similar setup on his '37 dodge truck.  At the time, he had no idea who I was nor how to get a hold of me.

It was by a chance encounter with individual that was selling some 218 parts off of craigslist that he found out that I happened to live right down the road from the guy.  And so, a couple of phone calls and visits later, it begins...

This time, I am actually using some technology...boy, does that makes thing soooooo much easier....

The first couple revisions of the mount where made out of wood to just double check my dimensions and get some additional measurements for the model.  I will eventually make it out of aluminum.  The goal is to make it look like it came from the factory with this setup...
