    Hi,
    I'd love to hear from anyone familiar with the Mccollouch supercharger used during the late 1930's- early 1940's, this is the pancake style. I'm attempting to rebuild a 37 unit for use on a 1936 Ford, I'd love to hear from someone that has one, knows of one and would especially like to see some pictures of one mounted on a 1936 Ford. The challenge is how to route the upper radiator hoses with stock radiator connections and learn what customizations can be mad to adopt it.

    There was an extensive 2 issue article on them in Street Rodder a year or two ago.

    Thanks Rick, I found the article, Street Rodder Aug & Sept 2013, I was hoping to communicate with someone familiar with these superchargers, specifically someone who has adapted an 37 model to a 1936 Ford.

    I have a m39 and it doesn't fit on a 36 engine. It hits on the heads because they sit so high for the water pumps.

    My ‘36 has a later engine (39-41) with Center water outlets on the heads. The problem is routing the hoses from the radiator.
