Default F1-c On Fbody

I am trying to find out if you can fit an F1-C on an F-body and still keep the a/c. I know u would have move the radiator and condenser forward but has anyone made it fit? pics ? I have read most of the threads and did a search but I cant find a straight answer. thanks

Apparently Jesse Bubb (wait4me) has. You might try contacting him.

"The 1000 hp camaro can be seen or driven by anyone who wants to come over. I have nothing to hide.
408 with 22~ lbs of boost using an f2R procharger.." Jesse Bubb said this.

Ac is for suckers... Slap that monster on and route the BOV's relief pressure into the cabin and that'll be cooling enough....Because when that thing releases that will be COOL as hell.... =)

The volute diameter on the F1C/F1R blowers is larger, also the inlet hose diameter is larger. Bob

cut the rad support and weld in a piece of 1 inch square tube if you need to move it foward.

Yes, pics would be nice to see. I would much rather go with an F1-C on my f-body if I can retain the a/c.

do a search on Stenod built cars, they cut the rad support and weld in the boxed bar like ping king was saying.

I want a 1000 hp blower setup too one day.

yea a lot of the turbo cars have the rad supports cut. I did mine myself with some 1 inch square tube.

another possibility is to buy a summit or jegs radiator thats 20 or 22 inches in diameter with a thicker core. You could be able to push the radiator over to the passenger side so that youre able to clear the blower inlet. You can still run the condensor for the radiator too.

Fitting it along with a/c won't be an issue, fitting it along with your radiator will be though. You'll have to move it way forward. And then getting it to cool with a/c on will be your next issue. You'll need 2 or 3 fans and shrouded airflow into the radiator & condenser.
