1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

Progecad would work for a very basic design. Post up what you need for a bracket. Start with a rough sketch and we can go from there.

This is the bracket and tension I have, because my supercharger spins the wrong way it needs to go on the passenger side.

This will need to extend the supercharger out about 5 inches to put the air cleaner on the side of the radiator, currently it puts it behind the shroud with zero room for a air cleaner and I don't want to run a turbo guard.

Is the bracket you need not available?

It isn't, this kit I bought was a mixed together setup on a LS, it uses a 350Z supercharger with some corvette brackets. On a C6 it works because the radiator isn't vertical.

Fusion, non-commercial trial. That'll get you started without spending anything.

Exactly what I was looking for, I have done 3d modeling in the past although it's been awhile I'm hoping I can pick it up quick.

Am I missing something?
This kit is in pieces, if you take is apart, flip the flat pieces and keep the spacers, you should be able to mirror it.
Unless mirror is not going to work then I will shut up.

Mirror would work but it would be spinning the blower a different direction.

Couple pages back we dug into it some, but sense this is a squirrel thread it gets confusing unless your on it,

Won't matter what side of the engine it's on, if it's facing the same direction, it'll spin the same direction.

the problem is flipping it around, but yes your right. if I put it to the drivers side it won't bolt in because that bracket is specific to a LS style supercharger, where mine spins the other way cause its for a 350Z application.

My thoughts are just modify the bracket I have and make that work instead of making a entire new one.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I miss my truck, out of town job has about a month left then it’s on. Will be out of work for probably a few months but pay will keep coming in.

 

[K85 Octane]

Will be out of pay for probably a couple years but work will keep coming in.

All I saw.

 

[Babaganoosh]

All I saw.

First qtr we will be busy.

 

[Babaganoosh]

New radiator, fans and shroud coming. I think I will be able to squeeze the supercharger wit the bracket I have on now, might need to oval the intake tube a bit... Do you guys think that will effect the performance?

In about 3 weeks, I will be back home and "out of work" for about a month so it's on like donkey kong. Thinking about stripping the plasti dip off the truck, it needs a refesh does anyone know what I can put on it to get it back to paint?

 

[shady]

Still won't be able to use one of these even?

But no, I don't think ovaling will affect it

@72gmck5 might have some insight into getting the plastidip off.

It's possible, but the tight 90 is pretty restricted and because race truck I would rather do it in tubing.

 

[folkenheath]

Oval or smash the tube does reduce the flow area a bit, you have the same circumference and the largest area for a given circumference is a circle.

Am litte bit may not matter, but if you also have to make the turn, and those "cobra" heads get a lot wider than an oval tube will be if you smash it, they also have a very tight bend radius. I would guess those will flow much better than just smashing the tube if they are made correctly.

 

[Babaganoosh]

The smashing part would be in the straight section not in the 90 degree bend.

 

[folkenheath]

An alternate is to step up a size to smash it. For example, I needed dual 4.5" exhaust for my 632, but I didn't have room for 4.5" under the floor.

So I used smashed "oval" 5" tubing which was 3" thick but 6" wide, which was equivalent in flow area to 4.5" round but had the circumference of 5". So if you need to smash it much, go to a bigger tube. The only problem becomes adapting the ends where it needs to get back to the previous size again.

I like this idea, might look into someone to build a custom intake.
