Lowering the engine....1 inch......is this hard to do?
I've heard of people lowering their engines in an FBody, but cannot find the thread.
How hard is this to do?
Does the tranny come down along with it, or is there more work to be done to make that happen?
Thanks.....

No need anymore. Harrop in Australia answered my question today. It was about the new Harrop 2650 sc'er. I needed to know how much taller it was than the TVS 2300 that Hawks Performance installs into 98-02 FBodys.
Its only 9mm taller....so no need to lower the engine to use one.

Not while I'm stuck over here in the Middle East......I keep getting delayed to get home for a 4-5 week OFF period. And today I learned that I may have to go to 4 weeks of training on a new jet we're getting....Gulfstream 550. So now I'll be stuck here till mid April......SUCKS.
So, I've been researching twin screw SC'ers. Been talking all week with hawks Performance and Harrop in Aussie about their new Harrop 2650 SC'er.
I will gladly sell all of my single turbo stuff......to get the 2650. Its $8,500 shipped. Run a hose to the front bumper to the heat exchanger and than back to the SC'er.....install the Bosch water pump and reservoir and you're pretty much done. So its much easier....cleaner and much less complex than a turbo set up. And it should make 1,000 RWHP. Leave the factory radiator and condenser where they are too.
Since I'm stuck over here....I'm looking into it......

I received the engineering drawings from Harrop and I spoke to Hawks Motorsports. They also both went into their shops to verify the height measurements on actually engines.
Hawks said they can make that extra 9mm of space with their current cowl kit. No need to drop the engine.

As far as the hood itself....its nowhere near touching the hood.
Twin screw type sc'ers are great, instant power. No turbo lag and sweet spots to worry about. After watching many youtube videos of these types of sc'ers.....I think its much better than a complex turbo set up. Such an easy system to install, spark plug changes are easy, cooling system stays as-is, keeps the badass exhaust sound (turbo takes that away), clean engine bay, no crazy engine bay heat, etc......

I got a price of $8,900 for a complete Procharger kit, plus $1,500-$2,000 for a complete fuel system, and have to have the 8-rib set up, not sure what that costs.
So those are close in cost. But so many more benefits of the twin-screw SC'er, over the centri SC'er.
The turbo set up...I will have way more than $11,000 when its all done.....
We'll see, just checking into it.......Magnuson is coming out with a LSx 2650 SC'er in about 5 months.

Bob (Brute Speed) gave me the price of $8,900 for the F1-A Procharger kit.....not including fuel system. He said it will not make 1,000 RWHP on my engine. I would need the F1-A-94, which is $300.00 more. So $9,200 for the kit. $1,600 for the fuel system. Thats $10,800. Then add the 8-rib and whatever else.
I really haven't added up everything for my turbo kit. Its a ton of little things.
Who knows, maybe I'll do the 2650. It'll be the first one in the USA, Harrop has not shipped one to the USA yet.

$8,900 for a complete ProCharger kit would already be an 8 rib with the F-1A94 and Aster bracket, ProCharger front mount intercooler kit and the 918853 balancer and crank pinning kit. With this combination you can bracket race your car and not have to worry about heat soak. Bob
