Reply to "Boss 302 Motors"

Blower jackshafts run under the headers to the back, and on a Mangusta, most have the cast aluminum bellhousing accessory supports for A/C and alternator on opposite sides of the bellhousing. I've seen one 'Goose bellhousing with only one cast support on the right, so if you had that type, I guess it would be a little easier to design something that fits. I'm not real sure you could rig a low-mounted jackshaft to miss motormounts and fuel pump on the left side while taking advantage of the single-pedestal-on-rt-side bellhousing. Personally, I would TIG on some lumps of aluminum on an intake of my choice, and machine them down, then drill & tap to duplicate the factory setup- less the center support which IMHO causes alignment trouble and probably isn't necessary. FWIW, Steve's setup on his Boss 302 is built this way and whoever did it used a heavy looking 1" thick jackshaft with 2 supports compared to the thinner stock unit with 3 supports.
