Yes, some sort of cage is going to be needed. :):drink:

We need a name for this--- Like Mazbra or something simular?? "Cobza"---you get the idea.


We can run VERY sticky rubber at the track, and if we really want to optimize for straight line we can set up the suspension for it as well. How much we want to optimize for straightline performance, or whatever, is another question.

I'll think of some names after I've had a few later on tonight. Look out.

What all is done to the engine?

Forged 302 bored .030 over, custom grind roller cam specifically for blower, reconditioned E6 iron heads with dual springs and 1.6 roller rockers.

Here's a link to what was done on the heads.http://motorgen.com/forum/showpost.p...4&postcount=98

is this thing getting blown or turbo'd ?? also im guessing its staying carb not fuel injected?

also how is the fuel system gonna be set up? if you guys wanna save weight you can toss out the stock tank and make a 5 gal fuel cell.

also wat fuel are u guys using i think that if you guys go forced induction then u gotta go 100oct, c16 or e85

I ran this blower on my 347 with 91 octane and water/methanol injection @ 12 PSI. I first ran it @ 8 PSI without water/methanol. It ran fine with 22 degrees of spark @ 8 PSI.

Depends on how much room is under that hood. This blower comes with a low profile intake manifold. I had to put on a very small scoop to fit it under the 68 Mustang hood. It was probably 1.5" too high to fit under the hood.

blown if if the Holley can be made to work. Otherwise, enkeivette and I are sort interested in some turbo time.

Probably stay carbed, especially if it's blown. But if we end up doing a turbo, especially if we go with E85 as a fuel type, then maybe throttle body injection, but that's as far as we'd go I think. Easiest is to stay carbed and blow it. But seeing what you've been able to do with E85 and turbos makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

This will be a function of just how purpose built we want to go. But we can decide this rather later.

Don't have to, but it sure opens some other boost-a-riffic options.

This is good to know. If the blower doesn't work out for lack of parts or whatever, corn fed has some experience getting stupid power out of a turbo with E85, which has a certain "cool" factor going for it. However, I think that'd mean we'd have to consider at least TB injection to flow enough fuel.

And if we stay carbed we just need a Bosch O2 sensor and we can tune it with my LM2. Is it a Holley carb? Holley carbs are cake to tune.

Where do you live? PM me your # and we can make arrangements to get the engine & tranny over to you next week, maybe.

Do you have a hoist to lift the engine out of the back of my truck once I get there?

I do have a hoist, just need to put it back together. I'm more than happy to come pick it up from you at your convenience. I'll PM you with my info.
