Re: supercharged pickup!
Guesing thats about 140 BHP. It looks from the photos as if the gearbox, back axle suspension and probably brakes are still stock which is a bit of a surprise.
It's a lot of money to fit, probably close to £3000 whatever that is in US$. A tuned Zetec 1.8 should be able to match the power and would be a cheaper install.
Good looking though and I bet it shifts quite nicely when asked.

Not a Marina owner, built in 1985 from a 1974 1.8TC MOT failure.

Type 9 gearbox, Vented front discs, Dolly Sprint axle with disc conversion.
Next project? Megajolt?

Re: supercharged pickup!
Is it really that much? A friend at uni has supercharged his mini (which I think has an A+ engine) for his final year honours project and it cost a lot less than that. Used a take- off supercharger from a new mini.

1972 White 1800 DL Saloon- Better than it looks, but it looks awful...

Pretty cool little car though. 8) Prolly wouldn't get fantastic power because of the lack of charge cooling but still very very cool.
1974 White 1.3 Super Coupe, lots of Alfas....
