Pontiac 301 Supercharged running on the engine stand No turbo! Boosted 4.9 with blower from a Jaguar

I love the pontiac 301. Mom had a 81 oldsmobile with a 301 from a 79 firebird that refused to die. She drove that car for 30 years before giving it to my uncle and he drove it for a few years before parking it. Its sitting on the farm rotting now.

I've got at least one maybe two Pontiac 301s here that my dad pulled out of cars and saved. We ran a lot 301s back in the day. (From the early '80s on, for gas mileage, dad pulled a lot of 400s and 455s out of Bonnevilles and Grand Villes and sold 'em cheap, noooo! I was a little kid, I didn't know to insist on stopping him😂, and put in 301s. Big family, teenage drivers, mom went back to work, all cars he bought were a few hundred dollars, just needed cheap transportation). But they tend to run forever. This gives me ideas Ray ! 😊

I watched your videos and then had the idea to feed the blower with a pair of 45DCOE "clones". I never thought I would be able to buy a pair of genuine Spanish Made ones. But the bay had it where - get this - the "US Stocking" supplier only had one - not two of them left. I cancelled the order. Poor Guy - you'd have thought I ran over his dog ! He said "How big a hurry are you in?" I said not any, why? He said they have made 900,000 of hose carbs and the line will switch to something else after they make one million. If I can wait a few weeks he will get me what I wanted - CONSECUTIVE SERIAL NUMBERED carbs. Paid less than four hundred for them !

Those shorty headers actually rob power on a Pontiac V8. The stock log manifolds make more power. Long tube headers are the best solution but I'm not sure if anyone makes a header for the siamezed exhaust ports on the 301.

@Nikolai.888 The bypass valve is connected to vacuum in the manifold. During high vacuum, like at idle, the valve is open to allow air and fuel from the lower manifold to recirculate, to prevent surge at idle. When the throttle is fully opened, the vacuum is low, and the bypass valve will close, and the engine will receive full pressure from the supercharger
