Being out of work, I spend 1/2 of my time looking for jobs openings that are not being filled anyway, and the other time working on a book I'm writing and working a side-gig I picked up before I was let go from my main job. (Not related, just "good?" timing.)
Anyway, "I've got too much time on my hands" (to think of bad ideas and explore what they might take to do. This idea involves my '88 764. It is a solid, well maintained car. In general, it has plenty of power, and I really like 2.8 liters of torque. (I have a WRX 2.0 with a lightened flywheel - launching that thing on a hill is "interesting" to say the least.)
My idea: I disconnected the belts from the non-working AC. It was never converted, and I don't think the cost is worth fixing/converting it.
What I did notice is that if I removed the AC Compressor and Bracket, I would have plenty of to mount a G-Ladder or Centrifugal supercharger.
So, dream with me an help me see what it might take.
Some questions:

Some questions:
- Anyone ever Supercharge a B27/B280. I know John Lane (?) did a B27 Turbo possibly with a 3.0liter Eagle premier block.
- Any advice on where to find good used centrifugal super chargers.
- I know the tranny is fragile -- I can do the mod. It works on the '92 940.
- Once a super charger installed with intercooler and blow-off valve, what should i be looking at for fueling system changes.
- Can I just put in bigger injectors and let the O2 fix the mixture?
- Should I re-chip? Micro/Mega Squirt it?
