Default Procharger on my S13/LS1?? Would it fit?

EDIT: Im looking at maybe doing a P-1SC,NOVI etc. (now going with a Paxton NOVI 2000) set up on my S13. I have the vette acc, so I will use the headunit,brackets from the C5 set up, would have to make custom IC pipes etc.

My question is, does anybody know if it would fit?? I would prob. have to relocate the rad to a V-Mount set up though and do some cutting to the rad support.

Pic of my engine bay.


C5 NOVI 2000, unit I will be using.


Not allot of room, but might beable to make it work. I will be getting a mock unit from Paxton for $300 and the brackets from ECS ($795) http://www.eastcoastsupercharging.com/SC600.html

If it doesnt fit, ECS said I can return the brackets. So I will only be out the $300 to get the mock up unit.


Thanks
Josh

i am putting a d1sc with the vette acces dr (8 rib conversion) in my 69 a body-i have the engine on a stand now, and if you need i can slap the blower on and give you some meas. if needed-i had it mocked up in the car before, and will need to make a tight turn for the air intake, but i think i can clear the radiator ok, which i am going to duct to the outside as in past procharger projects-i have an intercooler in front, waiting to get the engine back in to finish the piping-gonna run a carb to start-i think the camero setup uses a real tight intake pipe to the s.c, might be able to use that
i will prob just use some 4" bends and cut them to make a tight bend

Did you see what EPP did with the procharger installation on the RX7, using a GTO model? It's several posts down.

Thanks. Ya as soon as you get some pics that would be great, would love to see em. I would just buy a Magnacharger, but there not cheap. im hoping to get a used P-1SC and the brackets etc. For a cheaper solution. I just need a used headunit,brackets etc.

are you going to be running wheel tubs ? I taking a wild guess because you cut out the stock inners gotta get the space for big wheels and good angle! Nice looking motor btw, keep up the nice work!
