    It's funny- the longer I look, the more similarities I see in hose and wiring run decisions, although yours is far prettier. Nice car.

    Thanks, yours looks good. I made a new lower support to move the radiator forward about 3/4 inch. Helped make room for a Contour fan.

    What did you do with your hood?

    That car is awesome. Love the very clean looking engine bay. I have the same blower and my engine bay is cleaned up like yours, except I kept the battery up front. I have a 4" cowl hood on mine and clears the air filter by 1/2". I had to run a 6" air cleaner so I could close the hood as the 14" would hit the rear of the hood.

    I used Scottrods aluminum panels with wiring run on frame channel under them. I used an offset air cleaner base to put in the center of hood (because of the fox body engine offset). I like the air cleaner showing, kind of a "shaker". Then I discovered right before a cruise event that the blower pulley was hitting the hood. Quick fix was another 3" hole. Wish now I had bought a smaller pulley instead. I'm only making 4 pounds of boost and would like to get to 6-8.

    Sorry for the delay- some minor trimming on the hood, a fabricated panel to make the air cleaner seal to the hood, and a factory '83 GT hood scoop made functional. I switched to one of the cheap Autozone filter top air cleaners to give the airflow a better path to the carb.

    Looks like your blower pulley cleared the hood. What size pulley and how much boost does it make?

    It makes 7 pounds at 6000, and I have no idea on the size. I can measure it up. It came used with it, and everything worked as it sat, so I never bothered checking. I just cowboy'd it together and crossed my fingers.

    Well, I pulled the supercharger off and installed an RPM air gap manifold and Holley 600. I just bought an 83 scoop to finish out the hood.
    The car is for sale in the classified forum.
