a little insanity

my brain has been going over time on trying to figure out how to put a Paxton centrifugal supercharger on to my 1969 f-250 with a 390FE. i have found a company that has info on how to put a turbo on to any engine. and i have been wondering if i could tweek it to work a supercharger on to my engine. as for why because i want to and would like to see if it can be done. any ideas/critisims are welcome. as i said i am a little insane

Why a Paxton? Their are roots type blowers available for FEs, ie B&M, etc.

a turbo doesn't require the crank to turn it.
a turbo operates off of exhuast which is waste anyway.
turbos are better for a real world every day truck,but that's my opinion.

www.hamptonblowers.com, or maybe it's www.bluethunder.com, but I know they should both have FE blower intakes and I think hampton has complete kits

i've been lookin for a blower for my 390..
the reason blower/superchargers..are better are because they are simply more reliable...turbos must cool....and they screw up the sweet sound of exaust.
