i suggest to everyone to wait and get the long tubes.... i'm cussing,bleeding,welding,grinding to get my set done before the HPS intake is ready.... and i will never do it again unless i have a complete fab shop at my disposal...
#3333
can't spill the beans on who the manufacturer is but suffice it to say that they're a HUGE player in our segment of the market. They should be available in the next 2-3 months I'm betting.
#3339
EDIT: BTW, longtubes are DEFINITELY happening. It has worked in the past with other headers after modification.
#3340
good work!
#3341
can't promise anything but it's not hard to rig up a jig or set the bending parameters in a computer... the hard part is definitely the first set but we're going to spend a full week on it and do em up nice.
#3343
ya a set of good longtubes that are ceramic coated aswell.. for about 650$... would sell pretty decent i bet....

Well, not really bad news but it is to me damnit.
First, my clutch wouldnt work(10.5" flywheel, 11" clutch)
Drove all the way to mid nc before work today(bout 3 hours one way) to pick up the ONLY flywheel that would work "locally". Got a 03 aluminum flywheel. Go to the shop tonight to install the clutch and trans so I can start the car. Well, what do you know? The pressure plate bolts are diff and it just happens to be the damn size I dont have. Long story short, will be tomm night before I can finish the install and try to put fire to the cyls. Overall Im still very happy with the swap so far, I have about 12 good hours in it and thats including what I done to the bottom end.
Anyway, gonna try to get some pics tomm but to the untrained eye it looks just like a 4.6 engine. The main givaway Ive noticed is the extensions you add to the alt bracket, thats really the only visable thing that gives it away at a quick glance.

I'll have to find a hookup (sorta already have that taken care of) to finagle the smog check.
Another option is for you to register your car in a rural county with more lax smog requirements... Placer county and I think Trinity county are good bets.

You need a 60hp motor to crank out enough air to properly supercharge a v8 engine. This is why electric motors don't work for it... you'd need a 3 phase 220v industrial blower motor.

here are the new adapters. ther cmc's are ported to fit. the runners are 1.5" long and ~30 degreees cut.
i realize building the clean sheet is going to take longer so i am making these for now. all i have left to do is cut the plates for mounting to the plastic, weld them, and bolt them up.
