ok, if i come across one (or more) ill let you know for sure.haha, well hopefully its the right part.
With there description I wasn't sure if its a 302 crank, or 351w. A 302crank pulley will only be SLIGHTLY larger then my underdrive pulley.
Hopefully its the right one, from a 351, and would love to know the size, and PART NUMBER haha
Sounds like a giant aluminum block would be needed, haha.
Just have a 6rib serpentine belt, not the oldschool V-belt, I'm unsure when they went from the V-belt to serpentine.
Bernie was saying he got his from a Ecoline series van, so maybe thats a better place to look.
If you can find one, I would buy it for sure, but I will be hitting the junkyard one next weekend hopefully

When I get it I will take measurements and pass on the part number. I am looking at taking 2 snouts and making one, the gap between the shaft and the actual snout is the only thing I dislike about the setup, I am also looking into intercooling as well.

wow, no room at all. doesn't look like there's room to connect the vacuum tube. how is the FPR being regulated by vacuum/boost?

I'd be happy to give some feedback if I could just get my hands on the adapter.... :idunno:
Joey, do all the kits come that close to the rail/FPR? or is that why the GT40 needs a plenum spacer?

The gt40 is the closest or thru on top kit but it will fit WITHOUT the spacer, it was made to fit without it. Guess the rails are closer together on some lowers than others.
I am changing the design a little to give more clearance there to fix this issue.
The offset is the one that requires the spacer with the gt40, there rails sit above the runners so the spacer is needed to get it above it.edelbrock and trick flow sit even with rails so no spacer needed.

Im on it! sending payment tomorrow or wednesday
Intercooling - Ive been reading on using my A/C compressor and finding a thin evap core to install in the adapter. The toyota guys have been doing it for years and some lightnings used it... sounds like a pretty simple and very effective way to do it and have consistent intercooling for daily driving as well as the racetrack. Note when your at wot the compressor clutch kicks out so all the haters dont worry about parasitic drag :joy:

I am trying to fab something up with a tranny cooler and a terminator electric intercooler pump.

you both are on the right track!!
rcrcman, i believe the setup your reffering to is the killer-chiller setup that a the 2nd gen lightning guys use. that would be great if you fab up a similar kit. id definetly be interested in the progress of that.

Well sort of... but rather than using the a/c to cool the IC coolant system, Im skipping the reservior, pump and heat exchanger and installing an evap core like under your dash and using the eaton as the blower motor for the engine lol. The Killer Chiller is cool if I had the factory IC setup, but as a standalone I think there's much better options out there for alot less $$$. That things gotta pull some amps designed the way it is, not very efficient at the end of the day

If your going over 400 hp is it absolutely necessary to have an intercooler? I have no idea how I would accomplish this. I don't have a trans cooler, or any AC lol. I want something though.
Some pics of my install so far.
1" spacer on gt40 with a bbk adj fpr. Very close, but I will get the line on there and plan on grinding flats out on four sides to be able to adjust with a wrench instead of the allen key while the adapter is still on.

I might be going to a tranny cooler also... been looking through hundreds of pages at all the parts stores sites trying to find a evap core small enough to fit inside the intake is proving easier said than done. I found a few tranny coolers in just a few minutes on ebay that will fit... I think that will be the way to go. Have alittle more research to do on using a snake tube style or manifold style and efficiency differences.

Thats the same place I looked for a cooler... I think I am going to use it and the electric pump and also the termi coolant tank.
I received my second snout today, taking it to work tomorrow to look into making it longer. I only paid 40 for it so if I mess it up its not a big loss.

What exactly are you trying to do by making the snout longer? are you trying to extend the actual housing?
What pump are you looking into? And what is the size of the transcoolers you are considering? This is a great idea.

Wow mightyjo, good looking out on the upclose pics. I have a aeromotive fpr on the stock lines. think ill just cut my loses and plan to use the offset kit so i wont have to modify my current cowl hood or cut up a stock hood.
the trans coolers are a great idea, totally forgot they come in small sizes. however im disappointed that there arent small evap cores. *shrug*

I am extending the actual housing mainly for cosmetic reasons because of the longer shaft.
The pump is the stock one off of the 03/04 cobra.
I haven't decided what cooler to use but there are several different sizes on eBay.
I'm with 408-93Coupe on this one... I would like a better snout as well, I really like Joey's kit and it works great...!!! that bearing support holds up just fine... I'm already using two support brackets but as far as looks there is a little room from improvement, I also don't like the the gap between the original pulley location and the added lenght, but I'm not complaining . I started searching and came across this:
Have you guys ever heard of YELLA TERRA check it out, they have custom lenght nice looking snouts:
Yella Terra - Browse all product categories
Now before you say anything look at this youtube video this is a Lexus LS400 with an M112 blower.
I think this company is based in Australia but has a branch office in US. not sure on the price but it looks like you remove the whole front of the blower and you exchange it for a new front cover along with diffrent custom size snouts... I think it looks pretty good. but again not sure on pricing... might not be worth it...
Later!!!
