Hey, Doug.... where ya been?

My old (good) non-lockup KM148 is sitting in a corner of the garage... pulled it - bought a junkyard lockup unit... did a perfect job of replacing parts and setting clutch clearances, but evidently missed something in the valve body... dues are being paid right now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I've learned the value of putting gauges on an A/T before the road test. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the offer, though.

As for a blower kit.... I could package the plenum, blower, air inlet pipe, injectors, pulleys, belt, nose brace and FP regulator, but there would still be a good deal of work to do... but nothing impossible. Before I even considered it, I'd want to play with my setup some more to make sure it'll work as intended..... it's expensive, though - at least as I built it. Maybe those with welding/fabricating skills can make something cheaper that works as well. As an example, there's no reason why the plenum has to be machined in one piece - the box could be welded... it just looks better this way and uses fewer gaskets.

I posted all the pictures to give others a road map to build their own (if interested and if mine works as planned). It's the only blower package I've seen on a longitudinally mounted Gen1 3.0L, so hopefully someone will take the idea and make it better.... if not, maybe I will. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
