    You'll find one when you make one. No such animal.

    XSperformance used to have a kit.

    I made my own. No real difference between a G-body or and A-body. I will be putting mine back together this week and posting some more pictures.

    Interesting, I checked with Procharger and they said they didn't know of anyone making these.

    When I talked to thesuperchargerstore, I got the impression that they only wanted to sell a whole kit - not just the brackets. (And unfortunately for me, their kit was substantially more than xsperformance wanted for their kit)

    years ago i ordered a p1sc procharger for a big blok chevy. i was running a buick 455 in a 84 monte carlo at the time. i ended up making a .500 inch thick aluminum plate that bolted to the buick head with the 3 bolts on the end of the head. then positoned the procharger like i wanted it and marked it and then drilled and tapped 3, 7/16 holes in the plate to bolt the unit up.
    we took the pully to a machine shop and had them mill the lip off the back of the pully that fits in a chevy balancer and then had them drill the appropriate 6 holes to bolt onto the buick. allso a small grove was machined in the rear of the pully to give clearance to the small amount of ruber that sticks out of the stock 2 piece balancer. i hope this helps ya out with your project
    i will try to post pics

    Hi, im racing a 69 430 and was thinking about going to a supercharged setup, where did you guys find yours at for reasonable price and what had to be custom made or could still be bought? any good brands? bad ones? thanks.

    What do you call reasonable? Probably need $15K just to get started between fuel system, blow thru carb, super ignition. Buy a TA block and build normally aspirated. You will be better off and save yourself some money.

    Bobb made my air conditioning bracket.

    Had to cut a small notch in the tall aluminum valve cover and you can slide your hand between the bracket and the inner frender.

    When I first put the Procharger on I had postens aluminum valve covers that had a bend at the ends that allowed it to fit without any modifations.
