For those that have not seen this yet.

Here is what I have discovered when testing out how this blower is going to mount, its going to be a piece of cake except one major problem, the FUEL INJECTORS!!!!!! Damn, it should still work but its gonna be tight, I have to cut some of the mounting holes from the blower case cause they are in the way of the injectors, physically there is enough room for the injectors but the fuel rail hits the blower case as I figured, so a custom rail is definately needed, that I will work on later. The good news is I can get the setup to work with ONE belt, using the mustang brackets, for more belt wrap a second idler pulley is needed but as you can see in the pics that will not be a problem, already figured that out. I can even get the stock blower shroud to work, not sure if I'll use it but woudl be cool. Imagine someone looking under my hood and seeing the blower and shroud, they would think, "WOW an 03 Cobra motor in a 94 stang, cool, hey wait, those valve covers are not DOHC covers, wait thats a V6!!!!!!!! " Anyways here are the pics of the mocked up setup so far.

Here is a comparison shot of the stock blower and 03 blower, I added the inlets on the stock blower for better reference of actual length, its a few inches longer. The cool thing is the blower sits only 2 inches taller then the stock SC blower body, but add the blower top and the cobra blower sits the SAME HEIGHT, only difference in height is the snout sits 2 inches higher, but as for the main body section its the same due to no blower top now.



here is a shot of the stock blower alone vs the 03 blower, man it looks small. The 03 blower is DAMN heavy too, makes the stock SC blower feel like a feather, literally.

 

here is a front shot of the blower sitting on the motor with mustang brakets. You can see the extra idler I have next to the AC compressor, its just a pulley sitting on a threaded rod but you get the idea. The belt is too short but it woudl also wrap around the alternator and PS pulley and crank shaft of course, but in the pic it doesn't.



here is the same shot with the blower shroud, kinda cool.



and a top view, looks way too damn clean, I can remove both valve covers without removing anything else. It looks cleaner in this shot cause there is no injectors or wiring harness but still gonna look pretty cool when done.

 

did a bit of work on the adapter plate the other day and got some pics tonight. I am making the proto-type adapter out of plexi-glass since its cheaper and easy to cut. Keep in mind this is the beginning of the adapter plate, it will have many many modifications to it before its finished. Right now I an trying to figure out how I will get the injectors to clear the mounting holes on the blower case.

I have a set of 1999+ Mustang injectors which are much thinner and these will clear the mounting tabs ont he blower case much better then the stock SC style injectors and all pre-99 injectors. In the pics I have 4 injectors done, but the remaining 2 hit the mounting tabs slightly so the tabs will need to be shaved but not cut off, they shoudl still be usable. I just don't want to cut the blower case up just yet. I also have to drill holes in the mounting plate to allow access tot he lower intake bolts. This adapter plate will be welded to the lower intake so access to the stock lower intake bolts is needed.

Here is a pic of the adapter plate on the bottom of the blower. Its a little long at the back of the blower right now, I haven't trimmed that down yet.



Mounted on the lower intake.



injector clearence on the passenger side



drivers side injectors, you can see the injectors are very close to that rear mounting tab, it will have to be shaved slightly.

 

jamie it is looking amazing cant wait to see it done

 

i can't wait to see it done and run. i wanna see the number that monster will put down.

 

looks really good! how's the progress going?

 

Progress is slow, been working on a lot of other things lately but should get it finished up over the winter hopefully.
