f2 in an fbody
#4
Yea I figured the standard rotation would be the pro. I've only found a few gear drive set ups but they require reveres rotation. I was going to go with an f1a on a 402. But a friend has an f2 sit in his shop that I could have.

wait , you need a standard rotation for the gear drive to work , not a reverse one!
and if you can afford it , i really recomend going with a gear drive !
i "borrowed" a setup off a friend's car and a loved it! , and i still managed to use the stock radiator ( tilted a bit more) .

You can do it, just takes a lot of custom work. I'll post a pic of how I set mine up but it's a reverse so you would have to turn the blower around for it to work with yours. Gear drive is your best option but that takes a bit of custom work to make fit as well. I only remember seeing one gear drive set-up on here and never saw it with the car put back together so I have no idea what he had to do to make it fit. All I really had to do with mine was move the radiator forward a couple inches and remove all the useless stuff like a/c, abs and power steering. Not even sure I needed to remove it all but I wanted it gone for weight saving. Here's how it came out:
And here is a vid to hear how it sounds, that F2 is a loud little f*cker

rwb , i t looks like that but in reality they do , i don't use a full width belt , just a 50 mm wide one , so half the crank cog doesn't get used
i had the gear drive on the car for a weekend , it fits using the stock radiator , yo just have to push the bottom side of it out like in the pics above . you will have some thing like 1/4 inch of clearance between the radiator an the volute housing ( closest point ).
i took a few pics but the camera was stolen before i could upload the pics,
but here are a few i took with me cell phone :
and uscg , you're confusing us , do you have a reverse rotation or a regular rotation head unit ???
if its a regular unit ----> gear drive
if its a reverse unit ---> belt drive like rufretic's setup or the one i pm'd you
hope this helps

big stick , i ditched the ac a long time ago :d
but in reality , i really beleive you can retain the condenser if you are willing to cut up your upper core support.
i had the ac working back when i had the F1-R on there.

Doesn't it need a little time to cool the charge before it goes into the intake?
I;'m talking about both of those engines pictured, the one with the black charge tune mainly.
And is that top picture sc'er connected right into the crankshaft? No belt?
