Magnuson Superchargers is a manufacturer of aftermarket and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) supercharger systems for the automotive industry, located in Ventura, California. Started by industry legend Jerry Magnuson, Magnuson Superchargers has quickly grown into one of the most respected brands in the automotive industry. Magnuson creates products for various brands, including GM, Mopar, Ford, AUDI, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Toyota, and Jeep. Magnuson Superchargers are most commonly found in “hot rods,” everyday vehicles, off-road vehicles, and vehicles purpose built for competitive racing, as they are used to significantly yet reliably increase horsepower.
The Magnuson Superchargers team of technicians combine modern and time-tested prototyping and fabrication techniques to construct each component to exact specifications and the highest quality. Magnuson has a complete machine shop in house for fabrication of new prototype system components. This allows them to operate efficiently with short runs and high volume production.
I started with Magnuson Superchargers 15-plus years ago as a young kid who didn’t know anything about machining at all. Being a major car guy and drag racer, working for a company that makes superchargers was a perfect fit for me. I started by deburring and washing parts and worked my way up to operating our Fadal Vertical Mills.
From there I started to get the concept of what it actually takes to machine things and started learning how to do all the setups; I even started making my own fixtures here and there. After a couple of years of being the setup guy for our shop, I started looking into the programming aspect of the job and that really grabbed my interest right away. It’s one thing to run and set up machines with other people’s programs and instruction, but it’s a whole new world when you have to do the entire job from scratch on your own.
After a couple of years of being the Lead Setup Programmer here at our shop, I was given the opportunity to be the Machine Shop Manager. I was very honored that the owner of such a big and great company thought I had what it takes to run the whole shop. Let me tell you, when you are responsible for everything that goes on in a machine shop, it really opens your eyes to how much every little thing matters. The one thing I learned very quickly is how important it is to have the right team in your shop to support you and reach the goals that are set. It doesn’t matter how great a manager or programmer you are, if you don’t have the right team of machinists in your shop, you are setting yourself up for failure. After many years of trying, I think I have finally found that team that I’ve been looking for.
Years ago when I worked for Jack Clifford they were trying to work out some kind of supercharger setup for the inline 6 cyl. engines that we made hedders for . But the deal never went thru for some reason. Jerry Magnuson came down to Clifford Performance when we where on Computer Lane in Huntington Beach CA. I got to meet him seemed like a nice guy.
Used Clifford stuff on my Iron Duke 151 race motor, never let me down.....
Roadkill Garage. Showing you the right way to do the wrong thing. Lucky's Garage. Showing you how to make it right, beat it til it breaks, then upgrade.
Girlfriend has a '71 2 DR HT T-37. Her dad gave it to her around 30 years ago. Has a 350 Chevy 2Bbl. That's what it came with (Canadian version). The first time I saw the car I thought the motor had been changed as all the LeMans I had seen were Pontiac engines but "NO" it was originally a 350 "Orange" block from the factory. Your pick-up sound great. Best Regards - Mike
Most Pontiacs sold in Canada had Chevy V8's
It like butter ! I like watching you work .
So David and Steve totally threw in the towel on the suspension on the T-37
Sticks is such a good guy. Doesn't say much though. Thanks for the vid Lucky ✌
Love the tempest. Friend of mine had a 71 Lemans in green and the front fender had very similar age.. think that may be where the love comes from..
Glad to see the shoptruck back and running!
👍👍🏁🏁

I have been watching you build that truck, seeing it evolve. You have worked very hard to come up with a combination of parts, engine suspension etc, trying different parts combinations to ultimately build a more reliable truck i would like to see a full list of the parts you have settled on.
Always fun watching lucky do even small projects!
Thats the wildest charger I've ever seen...have to be careful when adjusting the distributor...look Mom no fingers...lol
Love what you do for the sport so much knowledge and a hoot at the same time so as always be safe 👍
Your videos make me want to fix up an old truck. I just need a bigger garage and, of course, the old truck.
Fix it up!!!
That is the coolest shop truck ever! This is the first time I've seen the engine compartment. I'm even more impressed. It's got to be a real kick in the ass to drive!!!!!!
OK Costa, you win hands down!! Blind hole findin' small machine bolts without dropping one into the !#%$& abyss!!!

all that knowledge and you have to fix roadkill stuff. living the California dream.
Great 👍 thanks
Thanks Papa Lucky. Always looking to learn something new from y'all.
The shop truck is soundin' pretty tough! Love it! I was wondering, is the jackshaft drive mainly for placement issues, to allow a lower profile? It kinda seems like the "more moving parts" conundrum. Once again, thanks for the vid, Lucky! Always love the shop cuts!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing. Like the sound of that engine.👍👀
Sounds good n strong 👍
I like the background music! Too much silence when you were doing that chevhell interior lol. Great video as usual Lucky!!!
Thanks for the feedback!!
Thank you Lucky...
Thanks for watchin!!
Nice work, Lucky … a very stout sounding engine!😀
Thanks for the new video, Lucky!!
I personally like the music lol, great content as usual!
I have a hard time fixing the floor mat when it slips up into the gas pedal. thanks for the inferiority complex. and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Well, totally unrelated but dang that is a really beautiful set of headers!
I thought that was "Eight Ribs For My Pleasure"!
This is why FDFI Eaton TVS superchargers are better. Front drive AND front intake, no more jackshafts, no stupid extra pipework like with a rear intake supercharger, no problems.
T37!!!!
I see the T37 from road kill.
Thanks for sharing this video 👍
i see the RK/RKG poncho t37!!!
Love the longer videos 👍🏻
Thanks for the positive feedback
Great content keep them longer videos coming 👍
Thanks!!
What about theT-37? As an non US/Canada guy I can't watch Motortrend Stuff anymore and lost the actual story about it. I thought it was sold?
Wow, blocks from where I live. Dude if you're up this way again and need a hand with something, (parts scattered on the freeway, etc.), let me know if I can help.
Is that upper radiator hose the Bluetooth version? 😀
T37 stance is perfect....
Love seeing the shop truck on my suggest.
Where did you get the air/ water intercooler at? And dimensions if possible thank you
I fabricated the tank and the heat exchanger is from superchargers online
Why did you switch it over from turbo to supercharger?
Did you talk Haven into recording your incidental music? It seems like his sort of jam.
What is the box with the breathers on the firewall? Custom heater core?
God I love the whine of a supercharger!
🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍
What was the reason you went from turbos to super charger, in the first place?
I love your truck, Lucky! I have a question. Where did you relocate your battery to?
Shhh!! Behind passenger seat
Is that the T-37 from Roadkill Garage?
It was found on junkyard gold then roadkill and then roadkill garage
I was gonna ask the same.
@@amandaschuch2372 right on. Thought so.
I see a lathe in the corner couldn't you make a spacer to bring the crank pulley out to where youd like it?
:)
I have a 1967 chevelle I want to put a coil over set on it where can you find a complete set front and back
What brand pulleys and balancer are you using? I assume it's 8 rib.
Dirty Dingo accessory Drive and eight rib set up
@@luckysgarageshow Innovators pulleys? Thanks
Hech yea man I dig your content 👌 😎
Thank you very much
What is the box with breathers on top where the AC box would be???
Crankcase vent… boosted engines with larger gaping in rings have more crankcase pressure
@@luckysgarageshow Now I know. What did you set the ring gaps at and how much boost are you making?
Yo
Truck norris.
That’s McGann’s truck
That Jack shaft setup worries me. I'm not sure that I like it. It does look cool
What’s the alternative though? Have the drive on the front of the blower and try to squeeze the throttle body and a very tight 90° elbow up against the firewall? A Roots type blower sticking up through the hood? A procharger that loses you all that low down torque?
I really like the back ground music Wrenching and Music go together naturally! I would have been tempted to remove the supercharger to repair the shaft Well done with the repair in place Good Video
Personally I blame squirrels
