today i got the blower tubing fabricated, and assembled some minor stuff on the motor at the same time........it really wasn't all that difficult, or at least not as bad as i thought it would be.

i also made a new longer jack screw to tighten the belt, because the ati supplied one is about 2" too short for the belt i need, and they claim they don't have longer ones.......so i had to bust out the lathe again.......now i just have to finish weld everything and get it all powdercoated......

all thats left to do now is wire up the wideband controller, install the crank bolt, tighten everything up, put the exhaust back on, put the nose back on, and the driveshaft, tighten the spark plugs, install the powersteering reservoir, and the alky injection......and a few other odds and ends lol.....nothing to it


first pics are of the blower to IC pipe.....including the bypass flange.
oh ya, and i cut a small hole in the hood for the blower cog, and i think it needs to be bigger.

heres the custom brake lines JPM hydraulics made me to relocate the prop valve....all that space is where the air filter cone goes

also, the pics of the jack screw i made for the blower idler pulley

heres the hole i had to cut in the hood to clear the f1r head unit......it didnt miss fitting under by much, but oh well.....i'll have to get a blister glassed on there to cover it up.

Looks great!

Question - Why did you put the BOV so close to the blower? Wouldn't it be more "efficient" being closer to the bonnet?

Huh, it seems that you could have saved yourself some bends by feeding the blower outlet across the front of the engine to the passenger side of the intercooler and then running the outlet from the IC to the carb hat on the driver’s side… I hate tight 90’s in plumbing if I can avoid them

ya but i hate criss crossed s**TTy looking tubing.....and that route is alot cleaner, and it would have taken much more tubing, and alot more bends to do it the other way...believe me.....there are only 5 major bends in the entire system and 2 minor ones that are less than 20 deg

thats where ati said to put it lol
