Any way to adapt a 99-03 Ford lightning roots blower to a 5.0 HO?
 
The Ford lightning roots style blowers are all over ebay for $600.00. They say if you have the skills you can mount it on almost any car:rolleyes: .........Does anyone know of a company that makes an adapter.

If not I will just stick to my original plan which is a Novi 1000.

I am looking to run mid 7's in the 1/8th.

Not sure of any companies that make a kit, but that doesnt mean that you can't fab one up.

Theres a guy over on the corral that mounted a SC thunderchicken blower on the passenger side of his 5.0L and custom made the inlet and outlet tubing.

I'll try to find more info on it later today, and find where I saved the pictures as well.

BUT I really think it would be a lot less of a headache to just go with the Novi, especially if you can find a used one. I've seen used ones go for around $1200 for the comlpete kit. Not to shabby for an awesome "entry level" blower. check out www.novipower.com for more info on them

Thanks for the reply, Yeah the Novi 1000 is looking better and better to me.

My 1000 was $1698. Brand new, delivered to my door in less than 10 days. I've seen used ones go for around $1000.

I know its a twin screw, but the intake is what you'd need to do for a roots too, I think.

Unless you like the on the side of the motor look.

I saw one a while back on ebay. He used the kennne bell intake and a m-90 form a t-bird. Mabey the same could be doen with a m-112.
