Alright guys... This may be dumb, but I think its worth discussing.
I bought the FRPP 2013 GT500 TVS kit for my 07 GT500 and will have a left over M122 blower kicking around.... I thought it might be interesting to stick it on my father in-laws '77 Lincoln with mild 460.
I searched remote mounting a M122 and found a GREAT thread covering a remote mount install. (the first four pages get through the build and first drag outing)
I was concerned if I did a blow through carb set up....the blower would keep producing boost even when the throttle was closed. But this video reminded me that the factory bypass is vacuum referenced, so throttle blades closed, no boost.
This video was also good because it shows how an intercooler could be added to the setup. Eatons make a TON of heat and are nicknamed HEATON's
The Lincoln has an accessory spot on the passenger side top where the smog pump resides currently....
It would be a HELL of a lot of fabbing, so this might just be a thought exercise. Not to mention the M122 might be too small for a 460, but I'm thinking mild cruiser application VS all out race. (this blower on a stock 7.7:1 smog motor with decent cam ported stock heads.....?)
M122's are fairly cheap, I see them quite a bit for $400 or less!
I LOVE the low torque hit of a roots style blower!!! Adding that to the torque of a 460....how could that be bad?
The biggest thing is trying to do it DIRT cheap. If you had to spend over a grand for the WHOLE and I mean WHOLE deal including every penny spent, I don't think it would be worth it.
The problem is results are not guaranteed like the tried and true builds already posted all over.
Crazy idea, but looking at the LTD thread and the fox video....it looks possible, with out of the box thinking.
