finally giving up on the build.. it's the older D1 that used oil lines and needed the pan tapped. it has about 5k to 10k miles on it, but has been on and off the car pretty often over the first few years, mostly sitting around the last few. it's the polished unit, but it's got some scratches from taking it on and off. it's the 12 rib belt setup with 4in pulley, it made 15lbs on my 350 with decent heads and cam. it will need the blower pulley, and 12 rib belt replaced, I think I still have the belt hanging somewhere, but it's in bad shape and I wouldn't use it. but I'll toss it in for a using if I find it. last thing that happened was the blower pulley bolt loosed up(my fault, had it off and didn't lock tight) and I didn't notice and it wallowed it out, I still have it so you're able to match up a replacement. I did pick up a used one off the board a few years back, but it was the wrong offset. probably the SC D1. it will go with it. along with an extra bypass hose and valve. it doesn't have the fmu that came with it, but at 15lbs, it burnt a piston on the first few pulls using that anyways, and it was tossed. ha, what I didn't know back then... stock injectors and fmu. but I'm 99% sure everything is there, all the hardware and stuff.(except the cheap pan fitting) I still have the original box it will ship in, but it's big and heavy. shipping quote I'll have to work on. bad part is, the blower is in Florida and I'm in TX most of the time. so you'll have to deal with a little wait time as I fly back and forth if you need more pics or anything.
looking to get 1800 plus shipping, whatever that might be. I'm told we get a discount thru work with FedEx, but I'll have to get that. I'll most likely be down this weekend. I'll get size and weight this trip. wouldn't be surprised if it's close to 70 lbs shipping weight and 5 foot long haha. kinda hate to see it go, but I'm just not ever going to get around to using it. maybe someone else will go fast with it and I can follow along the build thread.
oh and I believe I have the oem manuals and install instructions too.
the mark on the lower idler pulley is from the crank pulley when the front of the crank snapped off and it rubbed on it. long story but pretty much the machine shop damaged the front of the crank getting a stuck HB off and made it weak, and it snapped. it was ugly to the valves but didn't hurt the blower.
I think I do, let me look. been a while, back before everything was backed up and easy to search for lol. but yes, it was tight. if I remember correctly, for stock radiator, I did trim the outlet back and side cut a bit to push the hose back farther and still keep the flow up. that trimmed up top radiator cover in the pic allowed me to zip tie the hose away from the belt.
at some point I picked up a 4th gen radiator off ebay and used it, since the top hose was much lower on that. funny thou, while that worked, I have a universal aluminum radiator in a box never installed I picked up somewhere with the idea of just having a buddy that welds aluminum move the output on it down some.
If someone wanted the 4th gen radiator for clearance. I'm sure it's still good, I can pull it out of the car and toss it in.
little bit of hassle but I never had any belt slip lol.
never did, it was a 305 5speed car to begin with and I built a 350 for it with heads and like 10 ish to 1 compression and nitrous way before the blower. but it burnt a piston quickly. probably the lack of me understanding a tune more then the compression. but 10:1 wasn't that smart either.
but I'll say, the stock 350 being lower compression, with some good injectors and proper tuning. it would live a good long time, especially thru the stock tpi, since you wouldn't be turning past say 5500 rpms anyways. just make sure you have way to tune for boost. once I switched to code59. all blowing things up stopped. in fact I took the car apart running to do a intake swap(lt1 and Northstar coil packs) and get some paint work done, only to never get back around to either. different jobs and different states happened and the car never did.
on the stock 350 note thou, if you were concerned about 15lbs, it does need a pulley and you could just order the smaller size. last I checked, few years back procharger still had all the difference sizes
