Everything looks great Leo.

I noticed a few things that maybe Tom can shed some light on since he was a non-to-IC convert.

The oil drain/return line is a the 6 o'clock position on the blower head, but when it gets rotated down 45+ degrees what happens to that drain line?

Same goes for the oil feed line (brass nozzle).

Does the head unit have provisions for these 2 lines to be relocated or does Voretch manufacture 2 seperate units?

Coolant crossover tube.. the Vortech coolant nozzle is in the middle on yours, mine is all the way on the left side over the camcover. I'm sure this is no big deal as you probably have the hose in your kit.

CARB EO#... where is it?

As for as the oil feed and return lines go.....What happens is the front of the blower is unbolted from the back part and only the snail shaped part is clocked. So the oil feed and return lines will still be oriented in the same direction as yours.

Coolant crossover is supplied in the Paxton kit.

Only bad news is the head unit was originally part of a "tuner kit" and apparently Vortech doesn't supply CARB numbers for them. So I'm going to have to talk to Adam and see what I can do to work around that.

All this information came from Vortech tech.

So does yours have a Carb number?
What's your unit's serial number?

I was trying to get to your photobucket but you don't have a link anymore.

Are those the only pics you have of it? Anyone know an engraver that wouldn't mind etching a few numbers into my EO tag?

What other pics you need? Just the EO# right?.. that's legible.

I think the numbers are stamped, but engraving should do.

I just want to see multiple views to see the difference between Vortech's polishing and what I had done.

that's a good deal!

That'll be slightly taller than 1/8". 4mm = 0.16"

That is the most bootleg method of a CARB # I've ever seen

There's always a way around smog
