Bear with me, I'm new to this forum and I just wrote a long explanation which disappeared into the ether... I hope this is the right way to respond this time.. Anyway, the problem is getting cold air into the blower from outside the engine compartment. I can't find anything that would fit at 90 degrees from the Vortech (4 inch intake) and fit past the shock tower. I can't move the blower further forward, I've seen some Vortech pipes that are oval shaped and could probably fit, but I can't find one. The car came this way (unfinished) and I can't figure out how to solve the narrow space problem. If I COULD get the blower piped out through the wheel well, I could probably run a flexible hose up to just behind the headlight where the MAF and air filter might fit. The Anderson power pipes don't look like any fit.. Does anybody know how this could work?first off this is a fox vortech setup. and what exactly is the problem?

the one i have is for a 94-95 and it does put it low in the fender. it does not impact the wheel liner. as far as the hole, i just drilled some pilot holes and then some metal shears. I put some vacuum hose on the bottom so it didn't scratch the power pipe and some small wire loom around the other edges.
it's not going to be the same with a 351w block as my 302 since it has a higher deck height. it should still work though with minimal modification if any.
Hello fellow Opal Frosty... I've got a 4 inch 90* elbow that I could modify to fit through the fender if the Vortech were an inch further forward of the strut tower. I'm considering just using a 3.5 inch elbow or the Vortech 90* intake tube with a flex pipe in the wheel well: http://www.superchargersonline.com/...uct_info&cPath=510_1115_1304&products_id=5269Not sure if the powerpipe comes with it but you still need the 90* rubber boot.
You can buy the AFM pipe or get the plastic one from UPR. Either way you'll need to trim the fender area to accept it
What do you mean "trim the fender" ? Are you talking about cutting a 4.5 inch hole in front of the strut tower?
FOX 4" Plastic Power Pipe from UPR
SN95 4" Power Pipe from AFM
looking at your pictures again, that blower looks like a fox a-trim. that might impact how it's mounted. did you have to put different accessory bracket on the driver's side to line up the belt?
No it's an S-trim with 8 rib pulley (see pics) and as you see in the pic, the rest is standard forlooking at your pictures again, that blower looks like a fox a-trim. that might impact how it's mounted. did you have to put different accessory bracket on the driver's side to line up the belt?
