Michael,
I had a supercharged MGB. Did it last year over Christmas holiday.
Went like a bat out of hell. You neeed to have a low compression engine
in good shape. Ours incorperated a Weber DCOE 50 with one side blocked
off so as to only have one air chamber to deal with. Ren great but was
very hard on the bottom end of the engine. I have the supercharger here
in the shop for sale will bolt up to your B engine using a new front
plate and a new Eaton supercharger (well with 600 miles on it.)
Regards,
Jon
