5.9 magnum with M122 blower/intercooler

Sorry guys, not a whole lot of noteworthy progress for show and tell.

It's still all happening, but other projects plus work commitments have taken priority. I tend to pick away at this in between other things so progress is pretty slow.

I've collected most of the EFI parts. Which adds up in cost quickly.

Fuel supply is an aeromotive dual phantom in-tank pump set up running -8 AN lines. (Which are enormous imo, but it's what aeromotive recommends)

Had to machine my own fuel rails with the top of the rail offset outwards away from the manifold for clearance. (They look like something made in the 1930's, but they should work)

Acquired the ECU, it's a Haltech Elite 2500, plus flex fuel sensor, plus NTK dual wideband O2 controller/sensors which are compatible with E85.

Got all of the sensors plugs, pins etc,
Partial progess made on the mock-up harness, Will definitely want to run the engine on a test rig and test all functions before I heat-shrink anything.

Will run wasted-spark setup.
Have acquired IGN-4 "tower" type coils from DIYautotune, plus their Bosch "quadspark" igniter to drive them.

36-1 trigger wheel still needs mounting to pulley spacer. Things are very, very tight at the front of this engine.

I've had some mission creep with this project so the drive for the accessories became a bit of a conundrum.

The early valiants don't have much room at the front of the engine once you start stacking pulleys.

I decided I wanted AC to run a water chiller for the intercooler (like a demon) so I've mock-up mounted a tiny little 100cc AC compressor down low on the right hand side of the engine.

I bought an "interchiller" from a company out here FI Interchillers – Interchillers for water to air intercooler systems who make a nice piece. should be perfect for a Heaton blower.
Not entieely sure where i'll mount it yet Though.

One if the good things about the interchiller is it can be mounted almist anywhere and replaces the front mount heat exchanger. It just works with any AC system.

I adapted a V-belt pulley from an early pushrod Toyota corolla engine onto to a jag mechanical water pump for the intercooler. Need to get stuck in and mount the pump to the engine, front clearance is gonna be tight even with thermo fans.

I also dicsovered that trying to mount the factory magnum alternator anywhere other than above the timing cover also became futile due to it's length. I ended up getting a powermaster unit for a 4.6 ford V8 which us about an inch shorter and adapting a V-belt pulley on it, too.

Basically I've got 95% of the bits and pieces but still have a whoooooole heap of work to do.

I know it's been almost a year, life happens I guess. Will try to get some progress and updates/photos happening :thumbsup:
