I don't care so much what kind of car Mel had as Mad Max, but I want one of those blowers you can switch on and off like he had.

[ClarkGriswald]

Ever see the movie "my science project" ?. Cheesy but the guy had a Goat with a blower that turned on and off with a switch haha. Makes for a good effect in a movie.

Yep! 1970 Ford XY GTHO 351 Clevo, 9'' diff, Toploader. This particular car sold for $750,000 Aussie!!!!! cost $5000 new...
Was the fastest 4 door car in the world for a time.

The green car is a Leyland P76-Targo Florio version. 4.2 litre alloy V8. maybe worth $15,000.

Hmmmmmmm

You want to switch your blower on, off. cobble up a air conditioner conpressor electric clutch. Shouldn't be much trouble mate!!

[Guy_b_g]

Car isn't gonna run trying to breath thru a roots-type blower that's not blowing....

The Mad Max car must have had an empty housing with an electric clutch on the pully just for looks.

Roots blowers have to be on all the time or there's no air.

There was a fake Weiand blower kits for sale on one of the Mad Max websites a few years ago. It was electric. This is how it was setup on the movie -

The Blower

The supercharger is made by Weiand (pronounced "why and"). They make twisted-vane, roots-style superchargers for many after market applications. The system uses a GM 6-71 case as the base, and a Scott injector hat at the top.

On the movie car, this was all faked. The supercharger was empty and the carburettor sat inside. A small water pump was attached to the front of the supercharger to hold the drive wheel, this also moved the supercharger belt forward to clear the standard 351 water pump assembly, and the distributor has a 90 degree elbow to allow it to clear the supercharger. The supercharger belt is driven by an electric motor which is hidden by a yellow bucket in the garage scene in MM1. Weiand never had a supercharger that could be activated and deactivated. Even with huge compression it would be tough to generate 600bhp on a 351 in 1974 without rebuilding it once every couple of hundred miles.
