Default paxton/vortech bracket

was this a actual product by paxton or someone just made it? the bracket itself is pretty rigid...came with a novi1200. ive asked couple people about making a copy of it. it bolts to top 5 water pump bolts and and a couple spacers to the front of head. i needed this bracket because where it locates the head unit. no better than the market is for used parts i got my doubts about the smaller 1200 unit selling, but i have a ysi-b blower that needs the bracket....honestly as simple as it looks i think i could trace a template from it and jig saw a 6061 piece of aluminum to copy it....maybe a better choice for just 1 bracket. i would like to have an extra so i can set up a 50mm cog drive for the ysib head unit...this kits currently using a 8 rib serpintine.


anyone slapped a ysi b trim on a smallish 400 non stroker build? i was just gonna put the novi 1200 on one an see how it does...but the ford guys are making over 1000hp on sbf under 400 ci.

i love my 871 setup...but these centrifugals are pretty impressive

I just bought a 2-inch spacer to raise my blower from speedmaster
I wanted a 4-inch but they didn't have that one, black friday sale only
$150.00 bucks. Can't wait to try it out this summer. thought I'd let ya no.

150 isnt bad at all, i seen they had their 671 kits at 4k built to order too.

my 871 with just the bug catcher sits kinda low, i had considered the 2" or even 4 to get the bug catcher sitting closer to where the carbs would have put the air cleaners but never did.

lol i been tryimg to not look at their sales too much but those 87cc head castings at 500 each is tempting

Yes was gona buy another set but I've got 6- sets now, should last me a while.
Thats E-heads and SM's. the 4inch I seen was on speedway sight I believe.
I'm going to be doing some porting here pretty soon. all my stuff is broke
so i got some work to do this winter. Hope to have 6-7 maybe 8 cars out
come this summer. didn't sign up for the sick week was going to but there
is some weekend drag and drives going on around here so I decided to do
some of those instead and more track time too.

thats where iam at....i think i have 1 set of sm heads and 4 sets of eheads....i really cant justify buying anymore yet. my d ports are my least fav set of eheads.....i considered taking them apart and trying my hand porting them...my dilemna is i hate to take apart a new set of heads that do currently work lol.


i do have 1 467 ready to assemble, a 434 only lacking balancing, and one 406 waiting on its block. 2 of tgese motors will be boost builds, the 406 will be too if i cant find it a home.


i did catch a lil deal on fb marketplace tho...rpm intake and a victor 4150 for 75 each. tried to buy both but someone dibs the rpm first...but i got plenty of victors now
