[ONEBADMK8]

sweet
when do we get to see some vids of it

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Soon, very soon.

Cool.

But what are you gonna use for a hood? A circus tent?

 

[unity]

All ya need is a 13" cowl hood and your set! Oh wait, screw the hood!!!!

 

[Blenderhead]

You've got to be kidding me...that looks awful, especially that pieced together intake tube. Not to mention you'd need about a 10" cowl hood to hide it all. I bet it runs like a bat out of hell, but I think I'd rather have an 03 cobra engine with a kenne bell.

 

[slowmkviii]

I know you would loose torque but couldn't you get the adapter plates to use a 4.six intake with a roots blower on the five.4 and then you would not need such a big hood or hole in the hood

sorry about spelling out the numbers my key board is almost dead

 

[poniesviii]

I think I'd try 'n modify the intake so only the blower stuck out of the hood. It would look alot less crude.

Remember, don't roll the car in the corners.

 

[Staffamerica74]

intresting.... too much wieght added to these already heavy cars for me though.

 

[ONEBADMK8]

Its still being finished for sure, a mandrel bent pipe is in the works tooo. He is using our cowl hood "skin" with a "bump" being added.

exactly. but i don't mind the intake tube, pie cuts FTW!

 

[unity]

He did mention the tube is temp.

I just think the thing is too high. I think somebody is just showing off lol

 

[chicken]

i have to agree wow! but i thought the big debate was if a 5.4 dohc will fit cuz with the added deck height + big wide dohc heads and exhaust manifolds, i dont think it can be done

 

[NYC LS8]

I call Photoshop!! :shifty:

 

[96hotrodlincoln]

a bump, now that's funny, I wanna see vids of this thing running.

 

[96hotrodlincoln]

Nah, too realistic to be a photoshop!

 

[slickemhoundd]

[unity]

Thats just wrong! 9 seconds?

Hmmmm....

 

[driller]

...the world's ONLY 5.4 Lightning powered Mark VIII.

Hmmm... and likely for a reason. LOL

Seriously, it'd be interesting to see what it runs. That oughta start a good debate.
