I have a 94 5.0 will a vortech v1 install on my car off a 92 5.0 fox body. Obvious that the discharge tube needs to be changed but will the bracket and supercharger install the same since there the same motor? mine doesnt have ac either

No, foxbody cars have a blower belt too.

Bracketry is different - and the "installed height" of SN95 accessories from the face of the block is different.

MAF goes on the blower inlet.

Same head unit.

All you need to do is buy the SN95 brackets/discharge and reclock the valute OR do a Fox throttle setup.

The SN95 crank pulley is also slightly small/larger...

so should I just go to a machine shop and get a custom bracket made? or can you order just the bracket. the intake tube is different as well I would have to chop part of my fender out to make it work. the tube going from the supercharger to the throttlebody I can just cut it on the bend and shortend it down and it will work.


so pretty much I just need to get the bracket, and intake tube with the mass air mount.

It also has a vortech FMU with a boost retarder in the car is that worth installing or not really ?

well I Have a 92 fox body with the vortech kit on it that I can take off for free. I was reading the install manual for it
its pretty in depth to swap a used kit. do you have to install the FMU and all that other boost retarder crap etc. or just
just get the bracket etc and mount the charger and oil lines and get a tune and it will be fine without all the other crap ?

Stock 19lb injectors will not suffice without an FMU.

If you do not want to run an FMU, which I am not a fan of them myself...get a set of 42 or 60lb injectors, a 255lph hi-pressure fuel pump, and a dyno tune.

You can buy the brackets direct from Vortech or if you surf eBay or Corral...you see people selling 94/95 brackets a lot.

If you don't want the blower...send it to me - I'll put it on my car lol.

yea I want the fox to still run after I take the supercharger out lol and I have to plug the oil pan etc. I think thats what I will do then leave the FMU and boost retarder and all that other crap in the fox and just put a stock airbox back on it.

then upgrade to bigger injectors on my car and bigger mass air. I allready have a bbk 255 fuel pump

I assume the BBK is the regular 255....if so, make sure you install the T-Rex pump with the kit. The regular 255 will not work well without a T-Rex.
