I bought this from Sean Hyland Motorsports as a Lightning blower, replacement for the Eaton. Pulled the stock blower off before realizing that this blower has a completely different bolt pattern at the manifold. The Eaton has four bolts per side evenly spaced; this one has the first three even on the passenger side then a larger gap for the rear bolt, and the drivers side has the front two real close together. Cobra maybe? They didn't change the Lightning manifolds did they? Mine's an 03.

That's a 99-00 Lightning bolt pattern. I can ask Chris if you can buy the 01-03 sytle from him.

 

CRAP!!!!!! This may get interesting. I told him in e-mail and on the phone that I have an 03; I had no idea they changed the bolt patterns. This was a one-of-one special at $1500 and I gotta feeling he may fight me on taking it back.

You other guys here that were e-mailing him on this blower.......do all of you have 99-00's?

Thanks Sal.

shoot me an email or give me a call. I've got a 99 and am interested.

Too bad it wont fit an 01 I would buy it from you right this second.

 

You or Sal can prob get the 01 and up mounting bracket for that blower. If i remember it is just 6 bolts.

 

Thanks guys, I'll be checking with them tomorrow. It appears that the mounting bracket can be swapped but we'll have to see what the cost is and who's paying for it. I'd have no problem other than they were told what I had and didn't tell me it wouldn't fit, plus they never listed any year coverages in the Ebay ad and I didn't know they changed the bolt pattern.

If for some reason you don't want to deal with it I will buy it from you

 

I too am interested.....

 

Hope you get everything staightened out soon! It is great seeing all these stock blocked trucks with aftermarket blowers! Hell yeah! -Mat-

 

I'll let you guys know what's happening tomorrow when I can talk to them. Nathan asked first!!!!
