Hi i am wondering if anyone has attempted to do a custom intake base and install a new age roots style charger on the 5.0. I know kenne bell used to have one but i was thinking of trying to get creative with the help of a machine shop of course. just wondering if anyone knows of this being attempted yet. with that said there so popular on the newer 2 and 4 valve engines i'm suprised that some one hasn't made a kit for this

Here are a couple pics from other peoples setups and one of a KB setup.

The first Custom setup is definitely a neat idea. Wonder how long it took to get that right. Would look real nice with either a powdercoat or polish on the unit and bracket.
Yeah, there was a whole thread on this guy who was making custom intakes for Eaton superchargers on 5.0s. The guy is selling them as a kit. Honestly it's a bit ghetto. He had to use a retarded bearing plate to mount the snout. It also is so high it takes an enormous hood to clear it, and the belt routing is not the best either. You can search for the thread.

Yes they sell them, on their website only. 3k for the whole kit and I believe it comes with a 6lb pulley set up. It's the 2.2 blowzilla. PD Blowers create a lot of heat though, one of the reasons I decided on getting a centri. Sure everyone has it, but that's because it works. IMO there is a reason not many people run PD blowers on the 5.0's. If you have questions though look for a guy on here named "Bullitt347", his buddy has the quickest KB 5.0 in the world (he's on here as well but I can't remember his name). I spoke with them when I was curious about the KB. Good luck.

Here is another option: http://www.jdbmods.com/Products.html He fabricates intake adapters for Eaton 112's so you can bolt one right onto your 5.0. This would be a pretty cheap way to get into a blower.

After further investigation, it looks like that the M112 adapter kit has been giving people problems because of poor fabrication and fitment issues.
I just can't see the point of it. By the time you find an M112, get that kit, rig it all up to fit, then buy and and paint and enormous hood it will end up costing more than the KB which is better in every way.
Kurt
Yeah I definately agree on getting a centrifugal; they are way more efficient. But if you have your heart set on a positive displacement setup my point was that I hardly thing those fab kits are worth it.
Kurt
no I dont think they are either. If there was a better way to do it KB would have set it up that way to begin with. I understand why people did it, kind of like a DIY Turbo set up but for the best form, function and fitment its hard to beat the big companys who have been doing it a lot longer and actually have an R&D department lol
