I'd love to have a 5.4 in my car. My only beef with the 4.6 is that its a step down in displacement, and still huge under the hood. Though, those new Aluminators are pretty sexy!
So you are saying you would rather have that over a pushrod?
Yeah, it was blue with a flame paint job.It was on ebay with a starting bid of like $25000. I had a thread in BHR cause I was messing with the guy. Offered him a straight up trade with my Cobra.
That fake blower was hilarious! He was so sure it was real. "But its hooked up to the throttle wire"
See the blower through the hood does nothing for me on a fox... The modular motor through the hood is better, but still... does nothing.
We haven't converted you yet crapola
The day some part of my car is sticking out of the hood... I have gone insane and it's time to lock me up!
Yeah, if I had an olde carbd Fox that would be the blower I would want. Wonder ifthey are still avaliable?I say if the car came with a carb it has every right to have a big ass roots blower popping through the hood, but some of them are pretty much overkill. Putting a 6-71 on top of a 302 is pretty stupid considering the block will split before you ever see the potential of the blower. The small engine pic i posted earlier is the Wieand 174, and it's comparable to putting a typical centrifugal on a 302. I believe they're capable of like 12psi max.
I wouldn't do a traditional roots blower because they are inefficient compared to today's standards. I'm still waiting for someone to fabricate and/or offer a lower intake manifold that allows a modern twin-screw to sit on top of a pushrod engine.
haha, you know it would stick like 3 feet out of a stock hood
Wish I could find those pics I had of this douche selling an old Mach1 that he insisted was blown but all it had was a 3-hole bird catcher screwed to the hood.
To me looking at these, all remind of some hick/redneck putting some junk together and couldn't fit it under the hood. I call it RICE FOR REDNECKS!!
I might be in the minority here. I think they look cool on old muscle cars, and a few tossed in classics... Anything newer than mid 70s (possibly late 70s) they look out of place and over the top.
