390FE-M112 Eaton idea

[RFMustangGT]

Was sitting around tonight and thinking about my future plans for my 69 Fastback and had an idea. Wouldn't it be neat to use a Eaton M112 (03-04 Cobra blower) supercharger on a 390FE. The idea came to me from what a few of the 5.0 guys do with the Eaton M90 on 5.0s by mounting it on its own bracket and run all the plumbing to where needed. Only difference is that I want to do the same but with a big block and no EFI. What would I need to make the Eaton M112 work besides patience and metal? Thanks ahead of time.

another thing that just hit me is space....which there is hardly any with a big block. oh well, still any ideas?

 

[bnickel]

that blower is way too small for a big block and will choke the engine. some will argue with me but that eaton blower isn't designed to flow the cfm required to feed a hungry big block

Unless you used two m90's.

 

[RFMustangGT]

Unless you used two m90's.

or 2 M112s.

after a little bit of logical thinking rather than "hey this would be cool" thinking, I just don't see where I could put the blower(s).

 

[gunmetal5.0]

Yeah I said m90's only because i've seen it done so you could easily find some info on it and I assume they're cheaper and more readily available.

 

[RFMustangGT]

I'm still thinking about the M90 for my 95 if I get bored one day. just think it would be a fun project.

There isn't a whole lot of room for things atop most FE powered cars, your '62 T-bird would be even tighter.

Where to put a blower on an FE? Why on top of the engine,where it belongs! Nothing like a 6-71 huffer pokin up out of the hood and creatin' a blind spot in the forward vision. :SNSign:

You will need a couple of M112's. That FE will suck the guts out of one, and still want more. Other than looks, why not a Turbo(s). Smack that on an FE and see what happens.

hmmmm. going to keep that in my mind.

 

[67 Evil Eleanor]

Thats my kind of project. Got me thinking too. They could be mounted side by side and offset just enough for the belts. No air cleaner so theres some space. The box out of steel for ease of construction. Hood clearence may pose a problem. Nothing wrong with a bigger hood. Why not, it can be done.

How about a Shelby Aluminum 427FE with a SC. I don't think it will fit, but it is engine ****!

 

[BB1966]

I dont know for sure but I dont think you can run fuel through one of these blowers like you can a 671. They are not designed to do that,injectors spray the fuel the blower only moves air.

 

[rebel65]

but isn't the fuel being put in under the charger?

and yea, why not a blowzilla? much better than using an eaton....

 

[BB1966]

On a factory efi set up it is but not with a carb.

KB twin screw >> Eaton blower

One of these years I may actually have my 331 + KB2.2 flow/blow combo in the 2+2. That ought to be fun...
