wow that's interesting, i never knew bbk made anything like that...is this something that is old and no longer in production? ive never seen it before....kinda neat how theres no replacing the intake manifold for the roots blower

[Pure Stock]

Not sure if they still produce it. It was around in the late 90's from what I can recall. I never heard of how they ran e.t. wise though. I'd imagine they had mad low to mid-range grunt.

wow thats different

[Stangman701]

I'm fairly sure that's an M90 eaton off an old super coupe that someone rigged up to fit on a 5.0

[Killercanary]

Joe is right, that is the BBK instacharger. I do believe it was based on the eaton M90 from the Tbird though.

so they still sell them? it's suprising becuase i've never heard of them before im guessing not a lot of people have them. kinda makes sense though cause none of the roots/twin screw blowers are really popular on the 5.0, even kenne bells. I'd love to see some times with one of these like you said Joe

[Stangman701]

Hmm, this one still looks like a home made kit to me. Bracketry and intake are different than the BBK kit.

[fork5o]

thats def very different. wouldnt it be a pita to relocate the throttle body?

[fastfox91]

it is different but it is based off the bbk instacharger

[jaa55]

wow, i think i might try this......i could modify the bracketry i already have that relocates my alternator and i know where a supercoupe blower is. if thats a home made kit it looks pretty good!

There was one on ebay just last week, i bid on it up to 1000, but it went for more, the guy said it was a kit that was in early 90's but wasnt popular because it was about 4500 new, and you could get other superchargers cheaper

That is not a BBK kit, it's homemade. Look at the brackets in the first picture compared to the other thread. They are different. I've seen that one before, as well as a few similar homemade kits using an Eaton blower. I thought about making a Jig to build manifolds for 5.0/5.8's but decided it would be a waste of time. I also saw a handmade setup using a gt-40 lower and a large billet plate the blower sat on. Do you guys think there would be many people interested in a kit like that in the $1500-2000 range ?

I tried to tell people that, but they didn't seem to want to listen .

There's a kit similar to what you're talking about available currently for the 4.0 SOHC rangers and explorers. It sells for $1600 without the s/c, but the only other option for those guys is a $4000+ kit that produces about the same results. I think if you could find a niche market like that you'd make a lot more money than you would in the 5.0 market where there's already a lot of options. It would also be cool to incorporate the stock supercoupe IC into the kit. That's the main thing that's keeping me from getting a newer ranger and slapping this kit on there. They seem to be limited to around 5-6 psi due to the heat.

Looks like a Super Coupe blower with a shorter nose cone. It makes me miss my Super Coupe.
