how did u get a blower like that on it 

[hydengineering]

@sikvids55 thanks for your interest, it was an exercise in head scratching, I could have bought a kit, but that would have been easy...lol

Hi from Argentina, i have a 221ci ford 6 in line. I think taht supercharger could be perfect for it. coul you tell me characteristics of the blow please.

maybe some used unit or something that can help me.

thanks

@capoccietta Gday from Australia, get a copy of Street Supercharging by Pat Ganahl before you buy anything, it covers everything you need to know, including suppliers of kits & parts. Cheers Wayne

by the looks the idler bracket comes of the front bolts on the blower, does the idler bracket also bolt up anywere else, eg the thermo housing or water pump?

is the alternator still on the manifold side, if so were there clearance issues with the belt?

does the radiator flow right to left or is it like a VL turbo radiator?

is it a electric water pump?

Idler pulley only bolts to blower, but have joined the tubes together with 8mm plate. the pump & alt. run a stock fanbelt. radiator uses stock tanks with a baffle in the top, hoses are hq 6. I have since fabbed a bracket to support manifold. my other vid shows the front of the motor on the dyno, no belt clearance issues so far. I used the idler pulley to push the belt away from the water pump pulley, Cheers

@hydengineering

thanks, i am in the middle of fitting a eaton blower to a 179, im taking the radiator in the morning to get the top hose swapped and currently tryin to work out how to make the idler bracket and manifold support bracket, i am thinking of taking the manifold bracket from the engine mount bolts.
