dont worry i kinda like it too, it seems like it was done after the apacalypse.

You sure about that? I though They used the stubby nose on the 62 and the longer nose m90. Thats got the stubby nose. There are other small, but noticeable differences.

Does the TB hook up on the back of the s/c? Isn't that going to cause interference issues with the distributor - how are you planning on mounting that thing on there?

This was the S/C I was going to use on my 2.9L, but ended up changing my mind and selling it. Looks like it would be more manageable, this mounted on the side of the engine and funneled it into the TB. Plan was to mill an adapter and some off the 2.9L lower to bolt it directly on and have necessary hood clearance.

Think it was off an '01 Nissan Xterra.

Good luck with it though.

the snout is interchangable, and there are multiple different housings, this one came off a 91-93 buick 3800

.if i can't mount it far enough forward on the lower manifold to get clearance, i'll just bolt a scoop to the entire bottom and have it feed the stock throttle body like a turbo would, then mount the thing on the side of the engine like an accessory.

Then its a m62. GM didnt use the m90 until 96.

Look for a blower off the thunderbird. It has an output pipe instead of an open plenum. Makes fabricating a WHOLE lot easier.

When you starting on this?

 

[Twister]

Will a stock 2.9 be able to handle any kind of boost? What about a 2.8?

guys in europe boost both of them all the time, the idea that they can't be boosted seems to be a strictly north american one.

I'd say new heads at least.
