s/c on 54's

well I just thought i would post this up in this section, since it's gonna get supercharged.

I'm putting a 5.4 s/c in the big truck. Just thought it made since to do so I have alot of spare parts.

The builds gonna take some time since it's getting a complete make over, but i'll keep it updated as much as possible.

Things gathered for the motor area:

Eaton S/C with lightning upper, upper plenum
Stock heat exchanger with brackets,
4# lower
pulley bridge

Not that much stuff but ya got to start somewhere, haha

No to the cummins, I like turning some rpm's over...

And trimble I'm not gonna build the motor, this is just gonna be a temporary thing, until I piece all the things together for the 460.

Stoff, you know that S/C on LR that was halfway polished with the cracked 2.7 thats the S/C I ended up getting... don't you have a harley upper? I don't need it but just for grins I may wan't it for something.

CRAP. haha you just depressed the hell out of me thinking about getting a plenum and matching it to the supercharger. lol

Thinking your getting alot acomplished and wondering why your necks hurting, then you see you just spent a few hours on such a small area. ha

Time for some new attachments for the dremel. What do you use?

Well guys heres a few parts I have of the build (motor area of it anyways, theres other sections for the other stuff)



The rotors are gonna be stripped before it goes back together and the case will be ported, I'll be spending most of my time on the intake side.



Powder coated chrome pulley bridge haha and that pulleys an 8#



2.7 S/C snout pulley



stock heat exchanger





And some rods, looks like I will be building one trimble just not sure if it's going in the big truck or the Harley, my mind changes from day to day...

I got a rear rock thursday that I'm fixen to go and start stripping down, and lighten it up some (ha I know of 200lbs that will be coming off) brakes and spring perches.

Thats all I have for now guys Later
