Curiosity question. Is this SN-60/Shelby supercharger the same as the one on a 64 Avanti R2?
Is this inquiry due to the SN60 unit currently appearing on ebay, with the "BUY IT NOW" of $1500.00?
If so the issue here is that although the seller is stating that the unit is a Studebaker Avanti R2 R3, and I am cautious to dispute this claim, but, it doesn't look like the one on my Avanti R2, so perhaps with some caveat it may still be so, but?
In some applications where Paxton sold assemblies for O.E.M. assembly, do to the singular installation intention, to avoid misassembly instances and to reduce costs of production, one may realize the lack of the multitude of bolt holes in the mating flanges of the drive case noise to the intermediate volute housing, this permitting a multitude of choices for the "clocking" of the the volute discharge, as it is necessary for the oil sump of the drive case to remain at the six o'clock position.
So, I guess, I would assume (here we go!
), of later production than mine, or perhaps a warranty replacement unit, or the unit could perhaps be of a "kit" configuration, or?
But my answer your question is: "MY" Avanti R2 Paxton isn't the same, and it is unique to the application.
