Boosted bronco?

I’ve heard of a few people who’ve been able to boost their broncos, I’m super curious and interested in how I would potentially go about doing this with my built carbureted 351w. I’m not looking for anything too crazy just curious on what are the easiest and cheapest ways to achieve this for a some extra power. I can do moderate fab work, I’ve never done anything crazy but would love to hear about your setups or setups that you guys have heard work. Thanks in advance

I’m running a Vortech V2 centrifugal supercharger on my fuel injected 5.0 GT40 EFI. I had to move the core support forward and down to allow for the pulley assembly. It’s a reliable install. I’ve not had any issues.

I remember 20+ years ago seeing a Kenny Belle blower on a Bronco.
The sweet setup (that is no longer available) was from Explorer Express.

Fitting the belt drive will be one of the biggest issues. There is so little room up front for any accessory drive, much less adding a blower to it. That is why I think the Explorer Express setup would be sweet.

The centrificals have a rising boost curve as RPM increases. I've thought of Turbo, but packaging the hot side and having decent oil drain back pretty much kills that idea.

I'm running an older Powerdyne supercharger on the 4.0L in my '69 Bronco.
