Default cobra s/c on ls1??

i don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but will the blower off an 03/04 cobra fit on an ls1? is there a way to adapt it if not? i know guys like to take mustang GTs and throw them on because it's cheap power, and i'm on a budget myself, but i don't know if it's bad enough to make me drive a mustang. just a thought.

Won't work on an F-Body due to the Fire wall. Not sure if they make a intake for the Eaton to bolt up on an LS. If I were going to do this on a Vette I would just scrape for a Kenne Bell.

Awesome. The blind leading the blind. No it will not bolt up. That's all you need to know.

Well, let me rephrase it then. Simply no it won't work. The fire wall is in the way to run a roots style. A roots style will work on a Vette however. I don't know of any body using an Eaton though.

haha yeah i gotcha. maybe i will have to go to a mustang gt. 5 grand, plus a grand for the supercharger, and from what i've heard 400rwhp is attainable safely with boost on a stock 4.6. god i just don't wanna drive a mustang... or what they call them around here, a car haha. i'd say it'd be a fun sleeper but it'd only be covert til that loud *** whine came.

And let me make it a little more clear. There is no way a blower from a mod motor will every fit on an ls1 car. There are roots style blowers out there from a couple vendors though. It's not going to be cheap no matter what you do though.

Of course you could put a cobra S/C on an LS1 (with lots of fab work of course), but an LS1 F-body on the other hand...

If 400 rear wheel HP is what you want. Exit stage left and go to Gen III internal and get advice on a cam, heads, exhaust combo. If you do some shopping in the classifieds, you should be able to put together a combo that will get you around 425 for a grand in parts.
