The big intercooler does a nice job with the air temp.

I guess he thought a stack through the hood would be tacky.

Not tacky, just hard to hood slide over a stack :D

TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

can the s/c be clocked so the inlet is facing the coresupport?

No it is a Pro Charger, so it is belt driven. Turning it around means that the drive won't line up with anything to run it.

Glad you got a kick out of that, just want to say that even though I don't comment much on your photos and car, they're great pictures and an awesome car!

The total hack that installed the blower...Jon Sandahl.

The thing only made close like 650hp to the wheels, and Jeff has driven it all over. It's really killing the thing.

haha that hack installed my southside machine lift bar/frame connector f body kit..
I know his work

more fab. They mount them backwards on v6 mustangs...


I wouldn't even let Jessica Simpson slide across the hood after all that work. :P

Re: Car Feature: The (Formerly) Hack Job General Lee

Is it fab, or is it the way that kit was built? They have a BIT more room under that hood with the little motor stuffed under there.. Jon didn't even have room for my power steering resevoir when he was done (had to be relocated). Plus, it looks like it's saef to assume the little Mustang isn't intercooled, so pulling in cool air is key.

Either way, it is what it is.. I wanted NOTHING up through my hood... And this kit was said to be "impossible", so he took on the job.. Without the intercooler I know I'd be having issues with air temps, but I'm not... If you saw how the motor was shoe-horned under my hood, the thought of cramming all of this tubing in was a joke!!!

Jeff, you still have the photos of what he had to do with the valve cover to get it to fit?

They're likely pushing the mustang to higher boost than you are - thus, less heating effect. Finally, I'm pretty sure that once the car is moving more than 20mph, all that room under the hood and underneath the car keeps the heat buildup under control. Just think, if you went EFI you could look at the intake air temps any time you like while running, idling in traffic, whatever. Maybe next winter.... ;)

Scott, Jon is already needling him to put a FAST setup on the car.

The car is looking great! Too bad it has to sleep all winter....

All to squeeze it in...

ya, if Jon had his way my 71 chevelle would've been all tube and tubbed, it became uncool for me to stop by the shop once I said no..
