Power pipe install need help

03_StangGuy · July 26th, 2008, 07:13 PM

Im fitting my Novi 2000 kit and Im running into clearance issues getting the power pipe on the s/c inlet. Its a tight fit, I got the kit used wit a costum power pipe but i cant see how it fits.

Post up some pictures of the issue...

I just reinstalled mine this AM...

Its not an easy fit...

You have to wrestle with it a bit...This is on a vortech t-trim though...

here are some pics
The distance between the paxton and the radiator is 4 inches and thats with the fan removed so its very tight.

Also the coolant tank doesnt quite fit,

Here is a front view, also I have under drive pulleys but I think the stock pulley is still there as a balancer. They came with the car when I bought it, but you can see the crank pulley at the bottom of the pic.

And here my fuck up for the day, I cut a lil too close to the pinch weld when makin room for the intercooler, if any one has a spare bumper support im in the market.

And what boost pipe do you have?

03_StangGuy · July 27th, 2008, 02:48 PM

Its a custom pipe and its not made that well, but it 5 inches from the face that mount to the s/c to the outside edge after the bend. I think im just gonna go wit a aftermarket boost pipe but i havent been able to find any for the paxton.
