Twin Eatons alive

Well, she lives. Decided to fire up the Malibu today. Seems quieter running the two with the BOV then with the single without. After she warmed up a bit, and a quick look over, blipped the throttle. A quick rap to 4200 showed 8 psi with some belt slippage. I'm all grins... BW

There will be a crossover tube behind the blowers, with a filter box sitting on top of the plenum. Cold air will be ducted in via scoops in the hood. BW

thanks everyone..

cost so far is around 900.

I may do the cone thing for now, just to get filters on it

I have to adjust the drivers side unit forward a 1/8th" I am just a bit out of alignment.

Did get the rear supports done and a brace from the TB to the intake tube.

Last nights run netted 10 psi at 4200. Damn I need to get this bugger road worthy. cheers, BW

Looks great! Love those hopped-up 78-87 G-bodies!

You might want to go post this over at montecarloss.com as well and blow some minds.

If knew how to drive it would run 13.3 or better. Still using the worn-out original 200K mile tranny and stock stall converter.

78 Malibu. Inherited from my Grandomther with only 35K on the odo! 13.4 @ 107 with mild N/A 383. With Weiand 142 blower installed....... not quite so mild. Orignially shooting for 11.99 on street tires, but mid 12s appears to be the best it's gonna do. Too much cam, not enough converter and nowhere near enough traction.

How are the blowers secured? I assume you measured up some custom brackets? How do the brackets bolt to the engine?

Bolts to the brackets up front, and braces rear from the intake and headers.
