how about a SUPERCHARGED Fiat 850 ????!

thought this was interesting. Note the SU carb. Guess it's just being used as a throttle body, since there seems to be an injection point after the blower.....?

Nah, that just bumps the HP output to normal levels, allowing him to keep up with traffic (where's that devil icon, hehehe)
Really, that's pretty cool. If my 850 looked like that, I mighta kept it.

<laugh> funny. our small cars are a twisted disease, aren't they? Let's see, 850cc is roughly.... 1 cylinder in a 440 or 454 V8. Ack. Come to think of it, a big weind blower is probably bigger than the 850's motor........

Not sure you build something like that for racing. Curiousity, perhaps. Maybe just to have your pictures spread across the internet.......

Cool to look at. I'm *probably* not going to plagiarize his work, though.

Hmmmm, I wonder what John G. Edwards could do with an A-series 1275? I would love to see it!! Ah, maybe another one of those..."when I hit the lotto...." /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
