Default standard rotation procharger on fbod?
Any way to do a standard rotation p1-sc on a fbod? Fabbing isnt really a issue.

I think you will need to fab up a Vortech F-body type mount . It puts the head unit facing forward.

Yea they do I noticed that also, so it looks like I'll need to mount it on the drivers side head? Any way to do a independent drive?

If you could get a GTO bracket to allow the head unit to clear the wheelwell, then the GTO bracket would work. I think a lot of modifications would have to be done though to make it work. Bob

The possibility of having to cut into the shock tower was what I was referring to. The engine sets back pretty far on a 4th gen. Bob

Ok now I see, picture worth a thousand words. Cutting the shock tower won't be a huge deal, however it looks like I may lose power steering?

You could probably use the GTO power steering. In the long run it would be a lot easier to find a reverse rotation head unit as a starting point. Bob

true but I got this one at a good price, I'd be willing to trade for another I suppose, or how much would procharger charge to change the rotation?

It would be very expensive to have the rotation changed, your best bet is either to sell it or trade it. Bob
