![]() I am considering this as a winter project. Taking either a foord lightning roots blower or one from a thunderbird and adapting it to my GT-40 lower intake.
Is it possible?

![]() Ive seen it two ways...
1) BBK used to sell a kit that mounted a M-90 (Not sure if a M-112 would fit) on the passanger side down low and had the pipework feed up into the throttle body. This kit is now gone and I am not sure if they make it still. 2) On ebay a while back, A guy was selling a M-112 kit. It was basicly all the pipework that comes with a Kenne-Bell, except it used a Eaton M-112. I would bet you could buy just the pipework from Kenne-Bell and use a 112 that you get. I cant imagine the pipework being over $1000. So if you got the 112 for cheap enough, you prolly could get everything you need for under $1500. I had put a lot of thought in doing this myself, but I went with the Turbo setup instead.

![]() Here's a link to a fellow doing his own adapting work to install a Lightning blower on a 5 Liter: Lightning blower pics, fabwork
One question I would ask myself is if it is worth the time and money over just purchasing a used aftermarket blower kit? With new blower kits starting $1900 for you 5.0 guys, a used one has to be able to be found for $1000. 5-6psi on an already efficient motor like yours can produce some extremely nice results for the amount of money spent.
