series one got the M62 and series 2 got the M90. mcgavin mounted an m90 i believe to his 3400 car. There's pics of it out there. Don't know about the quad guys.

I agree with abov.e post. Many burnt GTP's in yards

it was a bonneville then, and the supercharger was broke, upon a closer look the pully was bent downward, my guess is the bearings went bad or the shaft snapped, either way it was toast to me.

Snout probably needs replaced.
Not necessarily worth your time or money. You'd either have to fab up a manifold to mount the supercharger on, or remote mount it... and the M90 just isn't friendly for remote mounting situations. It's not impossible, but it takes a lot of custom parts.

I have one of these superchargers from a grand prix gtp. fuel rail and injectors as well. used to have the lower intake but scrapped it. came off a running engine.
My dad just got a pretty cool car. a 90's thunderbird SC. 210 hp stock. tunable to 225 ish, then put a 15% pulley on it and set to go lol. i looked them up on youtube, pretty quick cars. hes selling in as parts or whole car. he picked it up for scrap but its too cool to see crushed.

Erich uses those as stepping stones when his shop gets flooded

Those S/C Thunderbird's dont make a whole lot of power, but they make like 315 ft/lbs of tire roasting torque. A friend of mine had one, that was one fun car!

i got the S/C off one years ago with the plan to remote mount it or stuff it where the AC compressor is.
