A fully functional Scott injection system on a fully functional blower!
Stick that on a brand new 351 crate engine, and...

I think Mark Scarselli is using one of these. Functional blower and all.

Is that the setup that was on the car in that cheesy interview video? [the host was cheesy, not him]

I dunno, never saw any video. Mark's car is in the replica cars section on the main page but I don't think there are any new pics with the EFI.

SWEET!! I'd heard something about Scott making a comeback, good to see it's a reality. I read the install instructions, doesn't seem too hard. Just a bit more hands-on then a lap top tune. I don't think I'd use the mentioned 351 crate engine though. While a sturdy set-up, the compression ratio is borderline for a street blower application. 8.0:1-8.5:1 is pretty much optimal for reliable street use. And a set of tricked-out heads are not necessary with a blower. You can get away with a good set of stockers, just a good 3-angle grind and port match and heavier springs should be enough. The only really big expense should be a set of blower pistons. These have a thicker crown and are better at resisting detonation damage. On the street, you're not going to run much over 5 to 8 pounds of boost anyways, but I'd rather have it overbuilt then underbuilt. And the crate price is just for the mill itself. Add another $3000 for the blower set-up. Then add the $5000 for the Scott. For the $8000 price of the engine alone, I can build one specifically tailored for supercharged street use and that includes the blower. Of course I'm talking a big block Mopar, but a Ford application should be in the same neighborhood. I'm looking at the project from a cost and reliability viewpoint. If you have the coin to throw, then go for it. But most of us are regular working-class stiffs. And it's no fun breaking a major internal engine part out in the middle of nowhere. No matter how cool your ride looks, it's not as cool on the back of a tow truck.
