Im glad you decided to move ahead with selling these Terry.

I just might be busy doing Eaton conversions now. :up:

Looks like you do very nice work!
I noticed the Mustang 2+2 lurking in the background -- I'll take it med-rare on the rotisserie! Those things are neat and indispensible with a car body, esp. a unitized body.

Looks good I have several of these here, but I need to find the lower intake with cooler for my Mark 8 project

Thanks, I am making a couple sets right now. It's a lot of work unless you can have the brackets cut out with a waterjet or something. But if it will help some people out and at the same time give me a little extra $ for my Mustang project it will be worth it.

You are right the rotisserie works great.

Do you need a lower intake for a 03 04 cobra?

I'll check around here.

To do this it looks like you'd also need the 03-04 Timing cover and lower pulley, correct?

Looks good!

No.... ok.... then what would you do for the lower?

Cobra balancer and hub?

I'm using the stock balancer with an aftermarket hub.

From the Cobra?
It's my understanding the Marauder balancer is wider( deeper?... has a bigger weight area) than the Mustangs and Cobras.
I saw this in the SH 4.6 book, I think, therefore the question.

I don't know about that I'm using a Lighting Force hub and pulley seems to bolt up fine. I will have to machine the bolt bosses a little to get the pulley to line up perfect with the Eaton pulley.

Sorry guys I feel like a total goober...but let me clarify please - this kit will essentially allow the regular Eaton M-112 (on the cobra and lightening) to fit the marauder despite its reversed design?

Metco or LFP Lower hubs will bolt right up to the Marauder Balancer.
The Mach 1 Balancer will not accomodate the Hub.

I figured that, but will it allow me to use their lower pullies since there is a snout length difference?

What I really want to do is use the Innovators West unit and Metco adapter.

Yes, the IW crank pulley/dampener and Metco lower pulley will line up just fine. I think the pulley adapter is from IW. That setup puts the lower pulley in alignment with any '03-'04 Cobra blower (Whipple, Kenne Bell, Eaton). I believe the Trilogy is offset about 1/4" from that position.

The Trilogy is offset outward or inward in relation to the Cobra setup, Brian?
I wish I had a Cobra blower to compare... those IW balancers are SWEET... but not inexpensive!

Alright...so what exactly would I need to buy in order to make a cobra eaton m-112 fit and work with the marauder?? Maybe save some coin over the trilogy kit?

If you have a drawing it's worth having it cut on a laser or a water jet. Under size the holes by about .005" and dill then to size to have a good clean straight bore. If you can tolerate a little taper then the holes can be made actual size. The cutter usually gets the material cheaper than you can too.

I hate to bring an old topic back from the dead, but I feel it's better than starting a new topic on this subject.

Does anyone know if these brackets would work with a Whipple?

PM Fordnut and Bodyman, I'm pretty sure that's what they're running.

Gortch makes them. He's on our website. Just send Gortch a PM for the Eaton swap brackets.

I bought mine from another source in Texas a few years ago. My source no longer makes them unfortunately.
