How hard are Eatons to find S/H?

G'day Guys

I'm Chasing an Eaton M112 supercharger for my australian Ford falcon XR8 (302W)

Were going to completly rebuild the motor as it has run a big end bearing but I wanted to make it into somthing special as it is only going to be a weekend car.
So I decided a nice blower sticking out the bonnet would be appropriate .
But of course we don't get many supercharged cars here with blowers that would suit my application, however the eaton is just what I'm after!
How hard are they to get? I need it sent to Australia (obviously ) And what are they worth, the only ones I've seen on ebay are about $400 US.

Cheers!
Simon

I can probably help you locate one, do you want a ported or un ported one????


also do you want a top feed or rear feed M112???

Hey mate

The top Feed one with the throttle body would be great, but eather would be suitable

As for the porting, the un-ported would probably suffice.

Cheers!

I think the average price is about $200-$300 for a non ported eaton with an upper plenium on it, a stock Lightning/Harley TB will run you around $45.


shipping won't be too bad if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks for the parts

Thats alrihgt, I was expecting it to be a bit more expensive than that, shipping dosen't bother me though, as long as its insured

Give us a couple weeks and I'll look at getting one

Would you be able to tell me where to get one or can I get one through you, when I'm ready?

Cheers!

Its got an old SBF in it?

Its not a Modular is it?

You may also want to look at used 03/04 Cobra blowers as well as GT500 blowers if you are going to have to fab something up to make it work in your car.
