Admit it, when you are walking around a car show, a race, or a cruise night and you see something with a blower bolted to the top of it, you pay a little extra attention. Now take that modern attitude and move it back like 60 years and think about what you would have done when you laid eyes on a hot rod that had something like this SCoT blower mounted on it! While you can get a modern, reproduction SCoT today and those are cool, nothing beats the real stuff and this baby is the REAL STUFF.
Topped with a pair of velocity stack enhanced Stromberg 97 carbs and bolted to an intake manifold, this is a 100% complete supercharger setup for your flathead. Obviously it needs to be inspected, likely serviced, and cleaned up before being used but, wow. How often have we seen stuff like this come up for sale missing half the parts or being advertised as completely non-functional? More than we can count! Having the whole works from the manifold all the way up to the carbs is really, honestly bad ass.
SCoT stands for Superchargers of Turin, as in Turin, Italy. Believe it or not the $10,000 asking price here is not nearly as much as some of these have sold for. Back before the reproduction units were around, we had heard of complete SCoT superchargers in this state going for much closer to $20,000!
Historic speed parts are awesome and if you have the money to build a car to a period and you want to go all in, we say have at it!
I can just see this on that awesome Flathead powered trike that’s out there in YouTube land!
