Hello All

Although not a restoration, as that was done some 25 years ago, have recently restored and fitted a Shorrocks supercharger to my Morris, been a bit a of learning curve, but am pleased to report it running spot on!

Welcome. Well done, sounds like a good project. Any chance of some photos? Would you fancy writing an article for Minor Matters?

Welcome. I am sure even the purists would be interested to see a couple of photos of your work. :tu1:

Hello again
Have always fancied a Shorrocks supercharger, back in the day it was sold as a complete bolt on kit, for a vast range of vehicles, Beetles, Anglias, Minis, Vivas etc, it was supposed to increase power by about 45/50% with a maximun boost pressure of 6psi. No other engine alterations or modifications were needed, so a weekends work should be sufficent.
I did replace the head with a 12G295, a Marina exhaust manifold, and a bigger exhaust.
