33 rod AC+supercharged coyote

[smoocheese]

Hi

Wanted to enquire whether anybody has done this combo before?

planning for 33 rod with 5.0 coyote crate+supercharger but has to have AC, concern is whether the supercharger radiator can fit into the grill?

I believe SVTFreak has a supercharger on his Gen 2 Coyote crate motor. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?24427-1002-SVTFreaks-build/page11

Though its an LS style engine the 2 SC installs in a 33 I know of (including mine) had the intercooler radiator mounted in the back ahead of the rear axle and an auxiliary fan. Was not enough depth for both the AC and SC radiators in the front.

I'm doing it. My setup barely fits. I made a heat exchanger using 2 off the shelf Bell Intercooler cores welded together and made custom tank ends. I CNC'd my tank ends, but you could make welded tank ends from sheet/plate. My setup is a gen 1 33 with a gen 2 coyote and a gen 5 whipple SC. I made my own spacers for the radiator and my own brackets for the condenser coil. My condenser brackets mount to the side of my radiator. The heat exchanger mounts to the front of the top and bottom radiator tank ends. Everything is isolated with custom made TPU isolators with stainless steel inserts. The gen 5 whipple SC fits under the hood with only about 0.09" to spare. Will it rub the hood when running? I'll find out eventually. I also CNC'd my own alternator bracket and Powermaster made me a reverse rotation 165A alternator so I will have plenty of current to run my Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump and the intercooler water pump along with heat and/or A/C. To get things to fit with the grill and radiator, I did have to remove the headlight mount from the radiator brackets and rotate the grill back as far as possible. The headlight mount I removed is used on cars with full fenders. I will be running full fenders, so I will have to fab a slight modification to the FFR setup for the headlights. I don't think it will be a problem. One of the bigger problems is finding room for the overflow tanks (one for the engine and one for the intercooler). I have some ideas, but haven't started fabrication on those yet. They will likely need to be custom parts to fit and look as clean as I want. Another big challenge is finding room for an air cleaner that draws cold air from outside the engine bay. I'm still working on that issue. I have some ideas, but I haven't started prototyping yet. One question is whether or not my setup is any better than putting the heat exchanger in the rear and my answer to that is that I doubt it. I put the heat exchanger in the front because I enjoy the challenge. Using a rear mounted heat exchanger might actually be better because you may be able to run a larger heat exchanger.
