I recently saw a picture of a 235 adapted for a 256 supercharger to run at the salt flats. But that guy built a custom tubular intake.

But I wonder if the engine can take much boost in its original condition. I know compression is low enough, but are the pistons up to the task?

I often thought it would be fairly simple to turbocharge a stovebolt with a little Garrett T03 and use low boost, like maybe 6 psi, but that question causes hesitation from trying it as an experiment.
