    On the other bench now.

    I have a chance to score a fresh rebuilt M90 SC with a custom 60* V6 adapter for $100

    Which is going to need some more fab work as the guy used a carb,

    I have MPFI and the blower/intake are right in the way where the stock injectors and rails went. That or raise it up a good 6in making a new adapter keeping as much of the stock middle intake as needed for stock FI system room. Or side mount it like a blower.

    Which means putting off the POSI install in the Buick a few more months.
    End of may probably. As I dunno if I can look at the blower just sitting there while my Firebird it would be going into is also just sitting there. I know if I go through with the sale the POSI is on hold as I need a new shaft built, bushing, springs, brake stuff, not gonna be cheap either.

    Thse good deal on $100 parts cost allot more in the end.
    [ Got POSI for $100 too.]

    I have a spare 3 piece intake I can mock up with, I would need to keep most of the area in the middle of the middle intake open. If a new higher up adapter was made and didn't have any worse bends then stock. I could deal with it sticking out of the hood some. Might look cool if it just peeked out.

    How many pounds of boost does the M90 put out? I guess the blower and intake came off a T-Bird 3.8, correct? Might be a great way to boost hp on a Buick 3.8 or 4.1 if blower could be adapted to stock/aftermarket Buick intake.

    Not sure on all the details but

    5-7 psi, its off a GM, not sure which, id assume the 3.8-4.3, the adapter was custome made for the 60degree V6.

    The Ford ones blows out of the top not the bottom.
    Which would be better for my case.

    Rebuilt I assume checked and new seals installed, not allot to them.

    I do have a guy who is willing to buy just the adapter.
    He wants to copy it without buying the or a blower and start from scratch.
    There would be a small but viable market to sell the 60* adapter too if you added the FI ports.

    The blower itselfs will bolt up to any intake made for one of that size.
    There just isn't one for the 60* V6.

    Just way to much fab work for me to use it though.

    I need a ford one that blows out the top. I won't have to change crap but to make a bracket to hold it as a side mount. Little bit of ducting but all easy after noon stuff.

    Ill upload more pics I have.

    I've looked at Eaton M90 superchargers for GM products and also Ford T-Birds on E-Bay. I agree with you, the Ford Eaton blowers would probably be easier to adapt, be it a V-8 or V-6. What are you planning to supercharge if I may ask?

    No real plans just came up as a good deal so I jumped.

    It would of gone on my 86 Firebird with a MPFI 60* V6, T5, 3:42s

    Though I have other plans for the car this summer.
    Gonna get wide body rear fenders and painted again.

    Didn't have plans to do anything to the motor cept fix that annoying exhaust manifold tick.
    Im happy with it as is but 5-7psi of boost can't hurt and blowers do look cool under the hood. But it has to be cheap with little fab work.

    68 scoops molded into the 86 hod.

    custom notchback, yes that is a led tach.
    most don't belive it but people are smarter then you think.
    I don't have @hoels up my butt with every drive
    when they can see im only pulling 1500rpm,
    "Im not racing you, back off"
    Also a good sike out and you can't tell its a 6 by sound.

    So do you want to sell the Ford SC Eaton M90 blower and 60* adapter or do you have a GM Eaton M90 you wish to sell? The one pictured appears to be a GM Eaton blower. Please advise as I'm tracking several on e-bay and may be purchasing one tomorrow.

    You should go ahead and get one if your in a rush.

    The one I have or will have here in a week or so is a GM one with a 60* adapter.

    If it was a ford one Id keep it.

    I purchased a M90 today for future Buick 3.8 or 4.1 project. Thank you for all your help. Keep me posted on your future blower project.

    Ended up not buying this, and then no one else did.

    So Im gonna buy it again.

    Done fed up with all the computer crap, Im getting the intake adapter to run a carb on it. Tired of pricy computer stuff and I know a carb will work.
    Just gotta pick up a s10 vacuum advance dizzy.

    Was gonna swap s10 carb stuff on but I don't wanna pull the main lower intake. Just cost more to yank everything for it. Now I just remove the top and middle, bolt on and go. He has most of the tuning figured out or ballparked.....
