Here's the latest belt line for the sandrail kit. It's for the vet belt line which will keep the supercharger belt line as close to the block as possible. This is what I'll be using. Hopefully I won't have any crank issues with this setup.

The 4.0 and 4.5 both use the same heat exchanger. But there is an upgrade that can be used on either. It's 2 inches taller. I'm not sure which core I'll be running yet. It all depends whether or not I can get the throttle body to clear my firewall without a 2 inch spacer under the discharge plate. If I need the spacer, then I'll run the big core. If not, the standard core should be more than efficient enough for my setup. I won't be spinning the blower very fast

Wow! Just wow! That's gonna be one nasty fox. How much power are you looking to make?
Oh and yeah, fuel through the blower would take up to 50% of the heat out of the blower. That would work well if you make it work

Any goal as far as ET goes? There are heavier cars going 7's with that blower on a mod ford. I'd imagine in a light weight fox and more torque from the LS, you should be in the 7's easy if you're gonna max the blower out

My two cores are not the same, I changed the fittings before running the 4.0 as it failed flow testing for my power goals (1,000hp flywheel). The 2.9 core flows 5 gallons per minute at 10psi as delivered, it picked up to 5.8gpm@10psi after I changed the fittings to -12 (core is restriction). The 4.0 intercooler flowed 9.5gpm@10 psi as delivered, after changing the fittings to -12 it flowed 20gpm@10psi. 20 gpm will support 1,000hp if the core has the ability, that will be part of my dyno testing.

I think you made this pulley setup. Did you use any specific year as a starting point for the pulley setup?

How much additional room is needed at the rear compared to an MP112? This is an MP12 in mine, but I'd like to put something larger on the new Dart build. I can remove an area 4" back towards the firewall and about 7" wide to gain additional clearance.
