If the price is right, I would definitely consider it. I wouldn't mind having two cars with roots blowers.

Im pretty sure that is for a Vette LT1 not a Fbody, I really dont think they are going to come out with a LT1 setup for our cars.

Notice it said LT1 and LT4 im pretty sure there talking about a vette.

does it really matter? only difference i could see would be the intake tubing, and there are LT4's in F-Body's, rare ones from the factory, but even then they arent that big of a difference, probably since everyone does LT4 stuff then thats why they mentioned it

In my opinion, I think it would be made for the F body before the Corvette community, since we (corvette owner here) would need a new hood, and the C4 hoods are very expensive, VERY. There is more people in the F body community that would use a Maggie too.
I personnaly have been waiting for a magnuson for my C4, and this would be nice, on top of my stroker..

The difference would be the cowl interference in the Fbody platform.

I will have to check against my Hogans to see if it would actually fit.

Biggest issue will be how to hook the belt up

As I posted on the other board I believe they are working with Mease Performance Engineering out of NJ who already has a kit available for b-bodies which has been covered here before Buffman posted some pics and more info.
I believe they are aiming for the retrofit crowd a lot of guys are putting LT1s in older vehicles where the engine is actually in front of the cowl, that would be why they are doing the carbed version as well.

it's the eaton blower off the lightning. used because one could route the TB to the side as he did. Not sure why he didn't grind that off. IIRC it's an M112 blower..

Thats a clean blower set up on that Impala, if it wasnt polished I would think it looked factory
