Hey Doug, it was great to meet you and I was honored to be included and
represent Morgan in this historic event. Man, those other cars are faster
than in 1963! And good drivers too! Here are some pictures of my set up. Is
there a link to post directly to the group in the future and see questions
or comments? Thanks!

The Blower is an Eaton M-45? I think, possibly off of a t-Bird? with a
snout machined to fit this engine. I think it makes about 8lb. but it is
hard to watch the gauge and drive hard at the same time. Maybe I can film
it sometime. There is an MSD boost timing control installed with the MSD
6AL,  which should retard the timing under boost and reduce detonation.
There is also a methanol/water injection system that sprays the 50/50 mix
into the Weber 40 DCOE air cleaner under boost - also to discourage
detonation.  Its hard to test what they actually do=E2=80=A6.So far I have =
only
blown one head gasket and that was at a track day a number of years ago.=E2=
=80=A6
The serpentine belt arrangement was constructed from various junkyard parts
and fabricated brackets. I fabricated the simple intake manifold from
rectangular tubing with a primitive pop off valve at the front.  The
compression was not modified. This setup has been installed for about 15
years. 87mm pistons. Oh yes also had to modify the radiator and hoses to
avoid the pulleys etc. Hope this helps.  Cheers.
