Blown Bronco

What does everyone think about a blown 460 Bronco? By blown I mean supercharged not blown up in an explosion. I have toyed with the idea a little. Personally I think it would be neat. For as much (or little) as it will be driven once the project is complete I'm really not concerned about the gas mileage. It's going to suck either way (no pun intended ).

what would the bronco be used for? show, trail ? the 460 is already a lot of motor for a bronco so going with a blower would require a lot of drivetrain upgrades to handle the power. but it could be cool if done right

Honestly, it would be used for any and everything. Trail, hauling, driving to work once in a while, (accidently running over rice in the road ) This is true. The set up I have planned for the 460 will be putting out some good numbers (~398hp and ~610ft lb.tq.) already. I just thought it would be cool to have it blown and have more power on tap. It's also the quickest way to just about double the power output.

well your next issue would be carb or efi. i will say that anything over 500lb torque would put major strain no front/rear axles so going 1 ton would be a good idea as well
