how to mount my v-twin OBA compressor

[Disciples Performance]

hey guys so ive been prep. my truck and myself for making my OBA setup with my york v-twin compressor now since they are a little more bulky to mount up and down on a 350 i was wondering if anybody has ever put a v-twin on a v8 or anypics of any engine with the v-twin compressor on it????

this would help me alot!!! thanx guys

V-Twin????

I don't understand

its in the shape of a small harley vtwin motor its an York AC Compressor off a 78 lebaron more displacment and allows for more CFM

got a picture of one kinda lol not mine but might give you an idea of what it looks like...

Thats still a single piston a/c compressor. Not a "V-Twin" like you think.

Actually, I seem to recall the York I blew up had two pistons in it. Mind you, it's the basic square York shape and not a vee-twin *shape* ... but anyway.

First york I had for my OBA was one of these. Didn't work, tore it apart thinking I might be able to fix for cheap....wrong, broke piston. Anyways, there was only one piston in it

Actually, i've played with one of those many years ago and it IS a 2 cylinder compressor. However IIRC the commonly used York for OBA puts out more CFM than the V-twin design.

lol anyways lol ideas for mounting it per chance???

All of the ones i've seen where mounted directly on top and in the center of the engine. Chrysler commonly used that compressor in the 70's so maybe hit up a wrecking yard and look for brackets or at the least ideas.
