Contact Gary Yeomans Ford in Florida. I actually called them and bought one as opposed to bidding on ebay.

386-527-2788 ask for Damien, he is the parts guy.

Kinda of topic but whats the heigth of the blower from manifold to top? I am putting an LQ9 6.0 in a 95 lt1 firebird and was looking for something with low clearance for boost. Looks great by the way. This lq9 we have I had put in a 2000 1/2ton Z71 but the guys kid wrecked it. I started to part it out but now I want it so I will pull off everything I need, attach it to a 4l80E and sell the rest. Anyway sweet ride, good job.

Wow, that LQ9 will run great in that firebird ! Gonna put a cam in while its out?

I will measure the height for you, but i think it might be a bit tall without firewall mods in that car, but im not positive.

Post up about your project, i'd like to follow along and help if i can :thumb:

I will, and I always need help with something. I want to do a big cam and a few other mods and then try to tune it with EFILive. It was tuned with HPTuners in the truck so I will copy that and then try my hand at doing it myself. I have ti finish all the current projects for other people first so it may be 6 months to a year out on my list but it will get done, its for my wife. My goal is to stand it up on the rear bumper just once:thumb:

Who is tuning your 6.0? assuming your EFI'n it
(my dad has a magnum SC on his 6.0 vortec max 06 1500)
TJ Grimes at Baker Engineering is tuning it via EFI live. Im going to see him soon for a dyno tune.

How bout some pics of your dads setup? hows she run?
