I sold my 81S supercharger kit to a guy in New Zealand who wanted to fit it to his 5.0L 928 marine powered jet boat.

My dad used to run a repair shop for British cars (occasional German and American too), and eventually a mail order parts business developed from it too.

One time a guy called him wanting a carbureted Jaguar V12 motor to use in an airplane that he was building.

I don't even need to explain. LOL.

I think this would be one of the times a 350 swap could be justified.
