looks good Mark,

I like your idler pulley setup, it looks like a power steering pump tensioner. I did a similar thing for an alternator.

How does the manifold cope with the added weight?

Cheers

Ed

the toyota superchargers serve a purpose, but there's nuthing like a blower where they should be 8)

ha ha - funniest thing I've heard all day!  me thinks you might  be fibbing just a little bit!  ;D

Just remember, if you decide it's not the right set up, send it to me and I have a lovely stock grey I will give you in return!
 ;D

I'm so happy to find that there is at least one other person on this forum just like me...  :)

(you know; old, doesn't hoon around, talks bullshit, etc, etc...  ;))

Good to have you back Jack, you  old HOON  ;D ;D ;D.....FC427......

reckon that alternator pulley will slip like a demon,gotta love blown sixes

now thats sweet how about a little more info on the build i have been looking at the terra blower setup not cheap thou, $5400
thought about a eaton M90 but have been told they wont fit in the engine bay with a injected throttle body ..

Eaton will fit no problems ......FC427......

ok think ill just have to get one and a aussie speed manifold and see how it all works ..
where did u get the snout extension from ?

Talk to Mark from Aussie speed their manifold will suit either a Eaton or Terror......  Snout is the B&M with 1.530 of it ......FC427.......

been a while  just about ready for assembly bought JE forged pistons with tool steel floating pins  H beam rods with ARP 6000 series bolts and a main stud kit.....FC427.....jpg[/IMG][/img](http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii234/FC427/IMG_2688.jpg)[/img]

And a new clutch and a GT toploader  :o :o......FC427.....

Looking great there, FC427, please keep the build pics coming

Cheers Brett

Craig does it look like this .....FC427......

No. Uses barrel type springs. Is that from your rod?

No for the FC  but a little concerned about the solid centre   ...FC427....

what turbo is that? and where did you get the manifold done? looks amazing!!

It's a B&M 144 Supercharger not Turbo  manifold is from Mark at Aussie Speed with an adaptor I made  to mate the two  I will  put some more shots up over the weekend ....FC427...

awesome! yeah i didnt know why i wrote turbo for hahaha. i knew it was a supercharger, i think i was coz i was lookin at turbos for my mates sylvia s14. but yeah, looks incredible! cant wait to do somethin like this to scarface!

how much for the manifold? and how did you mount the supercharger into your engine bay.

Lio

Say if u had a blown grey in 1960 before adr's and the laws about turbos and blowers etc, then how could they prove it and wouldnt that mean u dont need a engineers certificate? is this wishful thinking?

Blower as still allowed  ;D ;D spoke to an engineer last week about this   as are V8's up to 312Ci in NSW at the moment as no laws have changed yet.......... if you had one fitted in 1960 it would be up to you to prove it was in place then .....FC427......

surely there is some way with all this technology  :D

Finally got some time to dummy up the blower on the old engine to see if it fitted under the hood ..the 45mm Weber's that I wanted to use fowl but the 750cfm Holley fits with air cleaner  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.now to change it out . ;D ;D ;D...FC427....

Cool.
Shame the Webers hit, they look very trick.

cant you lower the engine mounts if it only a small amount

I need about 30mm and when the engine torques it comes up on that side even with the link I have made for the engine mount to limit movement  .I guess I could mill a little of my blower adaptor a little of manifold,and a little of carby manifold lower the engine 10mm and it might just fit  ::) ::) ::)but I'm just getting lazy in my old age  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D......FC427......

I see the cause of all your problems now.......... you've got the wrong red motor!  :P  :D

Kathi at least the colour is right and if it destroyed another engine  with larger Ci and more cylinders some one may have cause for embarrassment  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;).....FC427......

well well well..... did I just feel the slap of a glove across my face? or was it just a wet fish?  ???

now pull your finger out and do the adjustments you need to do to make it fit you slack old fart!  :-* :-* :D

To late old engine out new one in  :o :o :o :o :o.....FC427......

Well done, Mark (more pics?)

You're WAY ahead of someone else who's also installing a red motor ;) 

(hint - said person may not be colourblind but they clearly have trouble counting... ;D)

She has boost  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I wish I  could do all that tec stuff  ??? ??? ??? ??? I'm just a nuts and bolts guy  :o :o :o..........FC427.......

Looks very cool Mark.
Congrats on sorting out the setup.

Alex

If you take a short clip on your mobile you can load up to photobucket like you normally do and then have the link on here.

Its a similar process to uploading photo's.

Hope this helps.

Looks awesome Mark, when do we get to hear it.
          Pedro

Looks great Mark... very nice.


Cheers

Ed

Very neat Mark,a lot of hours there mate.
How much boost do you think?

Gary.

Hi Gary Engine is Still fresh so am not going to rev it hard till the  bearings bed in but at 3000rpm with not a lot of throttle it's showing 5 or 6 lbs boost, at wide open throttle when the air can get in am hoping for 10 to 12 lbs not a lot in to days standards but remember it's just an old red motor bit of nostalgia :o :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D......FC427......

Thought this was as good a shot of the Mates FED dirty old 202 ......FC427.....
