Any way to adapt a 99-03 Ford lightning roots blower to a 5.0 HO?

Dark_5.0 · 03-11-2003, 06:39 PM

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

.........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

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.
