Engine Height
 

I need to build a new deck lid for my boat. While building the deck, I want to make accommodations for any future engines. My question is how tall is a x:71 supercharger? Can somebody give me a dimension from the intake valley to the underside of the air cleaner? Please note if you are including a super chiller and how tall it is. Thanks!

I think the Blower Shop site has specs, give a try.

I searched the site, but came up empty handed.

I don't know if this helps. But here are some specs from Keith Eickert site on his engines with blowers.

Ratchet-that's PERFECT! But, I want to thank all of you for your help!

Cord, are you going to have this thing ready for the Oshkosh pokerrun?

The hatch? Proably not. Hopefully, I'll have some hours on the boat and the bugs worked out. Hopefully, I won't have broken by then. :rolleyes:
