ABANDONED 1955 Chevy Nomad Update: Nomad Gets A SUPERCHARGER! The Blower Whine Sounds So Sweet!


ABANDONED 1955 Chevy Nomad Update: Nomad Gets A SUPERCHARGER! The Blower Whine Sounds So Sweet!

The Nomad has been a fun build, and now it is even funner! This is DD’s Speed Shop’s first time to install a supercharger and decided that it was going to be on the Nomad. And we approve!

It started out as less car than he thought it was, but that just means the progress on this thing is sort of fluid. And so is the plan for it, which is why the thing is now a gasser! Just look at it now.

DD Speed Shop has no shortage of project cars and somehow this one was completely forgotten. I don’t know how that’s possible, but man I’m glad they have such cool ones to remember, like this 1955 Nomad. Check it out and see what’s coming next right here!

Video Description:

We’re back from the USA and I bought myself a little present while I was south of the border. A Weiand 142 Supercharger came home in the suit case.

Now typically this sort of item would be out of my price range. My good buddy David Newbern picked up the display model from the labor day sale at Summit racing.

$1500 well spent if you ask me! On today’s video we bolt on this belt driven intake manifold and hear the sweet sweet whine of this blower. It was a super easy install and I have high hopes for the power increase on this 1955 Chevy Nomad!
