GT500 blower on a Cleveland?

[73vertproject]

A buddy of mine just bought a '11 GT500 that was retrofitted with the Super Snake package including the Kenne Bell Mammoth supercharger. The guy threw in some extra parts, including the original GT500 blower, and my buddy offered it to me. I'm wondering if it's possible, or worthwhile, to try to adapt it to my recently rebuilt Cleveland.

Thoughts, ideas?

Any thing can be done. Just add money and light the liquid wrench!

probably not.

I'm pretty sure you would have to make a custom intake and possibly convert to fuel injection. I'm no expert on the GT500 blowers though. It would be awesome if you could make it work.

The new engines are as different as night and day.

I had looked at the very same thing some time back. I think the physical installation with proper adaters being a one off custom project is probably possible, but it would not be optimal, it would be cheaper and easier in the long run to go with a purpose built piece.

And your compression is too high to use a blower without a bottom end rebuild to about 8 to 1 compression and forged pistons (not to mention a new cam probably.

Right, needs to be part of the overall system.

I think B&M had a roots style blower/intake. I saw one one ebay and it was going to be a tight fit to clear the hood (then I saw the tri power manifold on Ebay and picked that up instead).

A centrifugal supercharger (paxton for example) is an easier install and be kept under the hood.

Ya, I'm pretty sure I'm just daydreaming here. But it's a pretty cool dream.

I think the 11 cobras were 5.4 so I would bet no

Yep, Roy, his is a 5.4 (330ci +/- ) so I don't think there's any way to do it. But that damn Super Snake blower sounds so cool as it boosts up.

Back to Earth, Doc...

It would probably be easier to install a 5.4 with it.

That's what I'm thinking. So, scratch that idea. Maybe on the next 'Stang (don't let the wife know I said that).

If you keep talking like that you may get "the look". LOL

Yep, I know "the look".
