Kenne-bell told me they would'nt sell it, so I'll make one myself.

Yea, a couple updates................................



1: You guys SUCK. :D :D :D :D It's my fault obviously BUT I have a hard time believing you did'nt notice the intake ports were not correct. I had to completely redo the design. Notice the new renderings versus the older ones. That was a few hours worth of time toredo the model. PLUS another few hours for DWG detail and dimensioning drawings .

2: My graphics card shot craps, so I had to wait till I had a day off to install the new one before continuing. My onborad graphics will NOT handle Inventor's needs.


Anywho.......sending the NEW files to the machine shop tomorrow.

WHOOPS!!! I did'nt mean that to come across like that............:D


I was just joking about all of that guys, did'nt mean to step on toes. I need to adjust my sarcasm firewall I suppose.

This project is one of the motivators for me to keep my Mark VIII right now.
 
How thick is the rear wall of the plenum?
I am wondering if a meth injection nozzels head is long enough.
 
keep up the good work man. like many others i am VERY interested in this, keep us updated. kudos to you for stepping up to the plate and doing this.

I'm sure it will be fine.


IF needed, I could have the meth injector holes counter bored, that would be enough I am sure.

Anyway, got EVERYTHING sent off for the intake itself. After the first is machined, it'll be mock up time for everything.

Will the dampener turn the supercharger? I ask this because if it will the supercharger will have to be moved aft a few inches.
 
I apologize if this has been covered, but are you going to be able to produce these for others? Your "flat torque curve" has me interested, I enjoy seeing your progress..

Also, if you're worried about hood clearance for the inter/after-WHATEVER, cooler, have you thought about a dry sump oil system? Maybe our K member restricts the idea?
 
No room to drop the engine enough to clear, so dry sump is out for me. The sc WILL be turned by the dampner, I am doing a custom re-machined Eaton snout and driveshaft to make it work length-wise.
 
Just an FYI: I just checked my 97 F-150 5.4 and it has an 8 rib setup too.
 
Sweeeeeet mike... looks great...

Cant wait to see an update on this man
 
This was covered I am sure but skimming through I didnt see the answer.

Why dont you want to use a dual pully crank pully? I mean is the Power Stroke or a standard 5.4 crank pully large enough to spin the Eaton fast enough to make some boost or were you only planning on 4-5 psi of boost?
 
Because I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible. It will be SIMPLE to shorten the s/c snout, versus all the bracketry involved with a dual belt system.
 
Fair enough but will it be large enough to spin the blower?
 
Yes, It will.



Just sent an e-mail off to a few bulk aluminum supply houses. I have my first plate, that ran me 275 bucks from online metals. That will be for my personal intake, and HOPEFULLY I will be able to order the remainder in bulk and cut down on costs.

We shall see.
 
I'm new to the board but this appears to be what I have been looking for. After reading everybody's replies I'll say that I'm in also and if you need some cash up front in good faith let me know.

I just bought my first Mark VIII 2 days ago ('96) and I'm pumped to hot rod it and kill some local slowmaros and a vette or two!
