Is it cheaper to piece this together or buy one of the ebay "eaton swap" kits for around $2500-$3200?

I've noticed those kits typically have pieces that you wouldn't need for a Marauder. Also, you might want different options from a typical kit that you can still use, i.e. you might want to go with 60/lb. fuel injectors rather than the cobra OEM takeoffs, or blower pulley. You can always sell the parts that you wouldn't use from a kit though, but do you want to go through that trouble also?Is it cheaper to piece this together or buy one of the ebay "eaton swap" kits for around $2500-$3200?

Do the research people. The information is out there. There is no "kit" you make your own parts work!

Here is a PDF of my Eaton Swap investment. Included are the part numbers, where I got the parts from and how much I paid. Tried to buy everything as new as I could. Hope this helps

I paid about $2000 just for a brand new factory assembled supercharger, intercooler and manifold assembly. Probably paid too much but I couldn't resist....

Was bored over the winter a couple years ago, so I put together a couple Eaton Swap videos. One documenting the teardown and another documenting the build.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but is there anything to look for when looking at superchargers online. I found a couple on craigslist but I'm not sure how to tell their condition.
Does anyone have some more specific instructions with dimensions/pictures on how to modify the stock coolant crossover? I'm working on a friend's ride right now and this is the next step we're at to keep progress going.

One of the biggest issues with modifying is overheating the sealer the factory used for the sensor holes. Once that’s melted you’re into a project. If you insist on doing it I’d suggest TIG only.
