The upcoming F-1X is going to replace the F-1R. The F-1X will have an 5.0 inlet opening, 3.5 outlet and a larger 10.2 volute. It reportedly won't take as much power to turn it as the F-1R, and is capable of making more horsepower. It certainly sounds like the way to go for your future plans. Bob

blue00ZZleeper - Can you post some more info on the welding you did on the block and the plate you welded to it? materials used, filler, process, etc
Also how is it holding up? any cracking?

And this is the quote he used back quite a few posts ago...
The cog bracket is a little different and yes I did come to a semi-conclusion lol. I spoke to a welder at work (30+ years) and needless to say hes an expert. He said theres a special rod to use and the block needs to be very clean. He also said to pre-heat the block to keep the expansion to a minimal when the welding starts. I just need to convince him to do the work for some $$$. I'm going to have the machinists cut a piece of plate steel probably 1/8th" thick and weld it in. Hopefully it works. I then want to take a deep nut and weld it onto the plate to thread both the top alt. only bolt and the top j-bracket. That'll give me 4 places of contact and should stop most of the bracket flex....2 just wasn't gonna cut it and if I can go 4 over 3 why not?
Hope this helps!
