Here are some specs of Ed's Avanti:
He and his son hand built the entire engine and frame-off restore in the mid-1980's..
320 CI 1964 Studebaker V8
Dual R2 AFB Carter 4 Barrels
PS, PB, AIR
One Paxton Supercharger ( Stock). Andy Granatelli sold Ed two of these for the STP employee price of 50 % off the retail price.
Since ED lives in South Fla. Air Conditioning and PS was a MUST. Therfore there was no room to install the second supercharger. It's still sitting in his garage boxed-up, brand new ( NOS).
Solid Lifters
8:5 Compression. This was reduced from the over 11. Never install a Supercharger unless you first reduce to compression by boring the cylinders abit. Else, you will blow out the engine when the charger kicks in at the higher compression.
Dual quad alum intake manifold
Delco 105 amp
Custom aircraft oil/fuel lines ( Ed was a top mechanic at Eastern AirLines)
Borg-Warner T-10 4 speed
Hurst comp shifter
MSD Ignnition
Dana 44 Twin Traction
Traction Bars, Gas Shocks
West alum wheels for Avanti II 20th Aniversary
BF Goodrich 235/60
