Default Kenne Bell Kit Sizes

Here are some measurements from the kit. Hope this helps. I am putting the blower on an LS2 (going into a 1969 Camaro). The kit is meant for an LS1, so it took a little tweaking.

The kit is about 9.5" tall from the ground to the top of the blower. The is plenty of room in the back.

I am using a built T56 out of a late model Camaro and I am using Stainless Works long tube header. I am shooting for 10 psi and we will see how it goes. If will take more safely, I will go to 11 or 12 psi.

Currently Kenne Bell only has a kit for the LS1 Corvette. I am having to make a few changes to make it work on an LS2. Yes, it is 2.6 liter blower with a water to air intercooler.

If would take some serious cutting to fit the kit on an F-body. It may not even be possible. How tall is a Magnason? This is about 9.5" tall. The rear of the blower has a ton of room.

The new valley cover supplied will not work at all (It's for an LS1). You have to modify the stock one. Counter sink all the bolts, shave of the PVC fitting, fill PVC hole, and shave back the oil pressure sending unit .

I also had a problem on the driver's side coil pack. I modified the stock bracket to work, but it would be a lot easier to move the coils if you have room.

These are both easy things for KB to correct when they offer an LS2 kit.
