Avanti Supercharger!

[mfg]

Can anyone name a very obvious cost cutting measure made when the McCulloch VS-57 supercharger was converted by the Granatellis into the Paxton SN-60 supercharger?

( Not referring to elimination of the vari-speed pulley/drive items)

Internal oil reservoir.

GOOD BITE!!….The McCullochs had a rather elaborate die cast badge or  “medallion” covering the solenoid hole.

The Paxton rework was reduced to a foil decal…..which looks good, however, was definitely a cost reduction!
