I found these recently and snatched them up. I still think the old truck is a good looking rig and I still love driving it.
Need pics of engine bay please..

I have a kenne bell supercharger. originally I put a holley thunder supercharger on it, it looked really nice but it was not made well and ended up grenadeing on me so I bought this one. not as pretty but it makes nice power and has been on there for about 10 years with no issues.

it cost me about 4000 but unfortunately kenne bell does not make the kit for the 2v engines anymore. this is unfortunate because these superchargers are perfect for a truck. very low maintenance. power right off idle, great boost in torque. everything I use my truck for is made better, and it really did not affect my gas mileage on the highway much at all. like I said though they don't make the kit anymore so you will likely have to go with a centrifugal like a paxton or something. they can make even more power but at higher rpm.

Now I think that looks pretty damn good under the hood myself.

thanks. and I agree it looks pretty nice. but this is the only picture I can find of the holley thunder setup. it is a short video clip. taken several years ago so the quality is terrible but you can at least see what it looked like right after I installed it.

It sounds like they put too much time into show and shine instead of internals.
