Who's gonna be the first to try to fit this into an F-body?

Isnt 3.3 liters HUGE? arent the KB's for teh cobras 2.2 liters? If that is the case then this thing wil make some sick numbers. I would love to see 1 of these under teh hood of a F-body. GL

the under the hood things is irrevelant, you would have to cut the windshield, the cowl, loose the wipes, and all that stuff.
th engines in our car are fit so far the rear we would have to cut into the passenger compartment some, kinda like por mods and funny cars

The 3.3L blower is physically Huge, so it would probably take a dedicated race car if you tried to put it in an F-Body.
It may well fit under the hood of a truck since there's a lot of height to play with under the hood. I could also see this fitting into the many kit cars that use the LS1 in a rear engine application with a transaxle.

who cares if that fits under the hood of a C5 or truck...thats why they make air nibblers...to cut holes in hoods... Never fit in an F-bod with the cowl over the intake
That is exactly what a Chevy SSR needs sticking out of the hood for me to buy one.

It would take more power to turn that thing than most people have N/A.
My KB is just a little 2.2L guy and it does the trick nicely. 3.3L is absolutely
huge. No way I'd bolt that bastard on. Talk about parasitic loss.
Turbo
is the "right" way to go anyway.

thanks Chris.
PS. a 402 LS2 would fit very nicely in there and even better if one of these things could go in on top of it!! hehe
