ATI 4CD-BBF-3 Ford Big Block 385 (429/460) F-3 CrankDrive
The award winning CrankDriveTM gear drive is capable of 3,000+ horsepower, and allows for a variety of accessories, easy change of gear ratios, maximum efficiency and extreme power levels. Compatible with race superchargers from F-1 to F-4, the CrankDrive is available for most drag racing engine applications.
You can change gears with the unit still mounted on the engine. That saves quite a bit of time, and can actually be done between rounds, if necessary.
ProCharger has added an accessory drive and a method to turn the engine over, externally. The accessory drive on the side of the unit allows you to mount a fuel pump, vacuum pump, oil pump, or even a magneto on the unit. There’s also a provision on the backside of the gear drive unit to turn the engine over for valvetrain maintenance or any other engine maintenance that needs to be done.

RACEDRIVE VS. CRANKDRIVE, WHICH ONE SHOULD I CHOOSE?
RaceDrive (Integrated gear drive and supercharger combo) is ideal for someone space constrained in front of the crankshaft and is running a bracket style class such as Top Dragster or Top Sportsman, where absolute power is not essential to winning. Click here to learn more about RaceDrive.
CrankDrive (External gear drive) is ideal for most applications where space is less of a constraint. The CrankDrive is completely separate from the ProCharger supercharger head unit, allowing any ProCharger F-series supercharger to be used interchangeably. The CrankDrive will support any horsepower range and works with a wide variety of race engines.
Recommendation: First, start with the class you are competing (see chart below), pick your supercharger, and then choose gear drive or cog belt drive based on that supercharger type. It's pretty simple or give us a call to help you figure it out.
