I've been told in other forums that this concept is insane...but.....Thats what experiments are for. All theories are welcome! I want to specifically use the M90 because of they're readily available from junkyards in various mid 90's Fords and Buicks.
This concept was spawned by the website www.Toohighpsi.com I know I'm going to need some fabrication, some imaginative intake, intercooling and belt driving system. But I think together we can come up with something great. I'm also aware that Fuel injection is the best way to distribute fuel for this application, but for the sake a the challenge, I want to use a 850 CFM blow thru carb, similar to the one centrifugal blowers use.
High nickel Mexican Block
Forged crank
H beam forged rods
Forged pistons

HEI distributor (GM Style)

3 inch pipes w/Dual Flowmaster
okay I went to M&K Steel Mill and got a hold of some 10 gauge steel plates I'm going to finalize the templates and trace them onto to the steel using an awl.
Since the snout has a sump the allows the blade gears to sit in the oil and kinda offset, I'm going to have to make the bracket work somehow. Maybe a cut it out or on the front side of the snout.
My original plans proved to sit up too high for any dream of ever getting the hood back on.
I got a hold of some ideas for the serpentine belt set-up from an old Fox Body mustang I just picked up recently. I took all the accessories including the power steering pump, the alternator, Idler pulley, the water pump pulley and crank pulley to match the S/C (6 groove set up).
I plan on mounting it like Mike but his plates are designed for the Thunderbird 3.8 supercharger. I'll be mounting them to the heads like he did.
okay guys I'm resurrecting this thread because I finally found all the parts I need...from the junkyard haha So It's the two turbocoupe intercoolers and some piping from the 3.8 supercharged Thunderbird and the 2 m90's. I'm going to end up buying some more piping from my local metal supplier and off to the races I go!
Here's the general design of how I want it oriented
now does anyone know much about the Miller Spectrum 375? I'm looking to get the tools to get this project going and I think I'm going to need some decent cutting power. Anyone here own one and can comment on its quality?
This is the victim uuh I mean engine I'm using 429 Thunderjet
cant wait to see how you work this. my neighbor has a Spectrum 375 that we are trying to get together on the price right now...I want it like no tomorrow but my pockets say I gotta wait or sell something else I probably need...
NewInteriors(Randy) mentioned in a thread I started on this machine, that he has one and loves it. If you have ever seen his work, you'll know it must be pretty decent. Ask him about the quality.
Thats good to hear, I called the guy who had one and it sold quickly but I have my eyes on that machine. It cuts the gauge of steel I most often work with. I think it woul be perfect in cutting plate steel to make brackets and intricate shapes.
This is awesome! I wanted to do something like this to a stock 350 just to do it. Plus its always fun fabricating something from scratch and making it work. Good luck and keep posting pictures.
was looking around the web for info for my project and came across this thread. I got a brand new eaton m90supercharger i would be willing to sell for a good price. i am build a turbo 4.3 like the syclone and typhoon trucks and dont need the supercharger and could use the money for my build. email me back at Joecox9113 at live . com if you are interested. i would be willing to ship if you pay for shipping.
