My Future FFR GTM

[bigmatt05x]

I am looking at getting the Factory Five GTM and the engine I want to put into it is a Hennessey Corvette LS3 HPE600. Is this possible?

[Kalstar]

Yes possible, but a waste.

The waste Kalstar is talking about is the Hennessey name! You could get 600hp out of a GM crate LS3 with half the price of the Hennessey version. Any Chevy LS platform motor bolts right up. To include the Iron block LSX.

We install Hennessey upgrades in Europe as well.

From my experience I do not think it is possible without modifications.
They use twin screw superchagers for these upgrades, so the supercharger pulley would be in the rear cockpit window.
Space for an air intake will be very tight as well.

We are running a Kenne Bell set up with the air intake in the rear and the pulley in the front but it still will clear

I am sure there was someone else on here running a S/C set up like that but I thought they had to make some modifications to the waterfall.

[Kalstar]

Medic, Can you post pics of your set up? I was thinking the whipple might work as well.

Mike Downs did a good bit of work doing the set up for a Magna Charger system. (I think that's what is was called). He did some work closing off the bulkhead all together, which left drive pulley intruding into the cockpit by what looked like 6 inches or so. Shortly afterwards, he decided to go in a different direction.

You may want to send him a PM. Maybe he can fill in the details for you.

I will have pics up as soon as all the parts arrive these are donations I have gotten from various sources through Wounded Worrior project that is helping me. But in the response to Stig I was told by the techs at Kenne Bell that the drive pulley is in line with the factory sepentine system no extra belts. But lets see when I get it here I may be wrong.

I dont think thats the problem. Not sure if I am correct as I researched this long ago and finally dropped the S/C idea. The problem is that the Pulley for the S/C is a few inches above the top factory engine pulley. And the waterfall if you notice from inside the car has a nice bank going up it then its almost flat at the top. Thats just above the top pully on the motor. The pulley system is just beside your shoulder. I am sure this will not fit but I am on my work computer and have no pics to show. You will have to cut out the back glass and make a new firewall and waterfall to fit a S/C on there.

Ok like I said I may be wrong and you guys have more experiance with the car than me. Me personally my daughter and me are going with the super charger and will keep everyone up todate with our build. Thanks for the info folks.

Keep us informed with lots of pictures of the fabrications and processes.
