can you get a pic of the 10 beside the 8 intake just for my own greed.
also since you have one sitting there. do you see any area on the passanger rear top that might cause an oil leak. All i can see wouls be valve cover and head.

Don't have the factory V10 intake. I bought a used long block and it didn't have the intake on it. The oil leak will either be the valve cover or head gasket like on the 5.4L (very common on the 5.4L).

Update:
Just purchased the rest of the parts needed to get started. Things might be slow going due to my dog getting hit by a truck. Medical bills come first for my little family member. I will keep you guys posted on the progress I make on it.

Sure you can do this but the M112 has a huge discharge opening. The amount of fab work to create an outlet from the blower to the intercooler/throttle body would be tricky. I'm shooting for using mostly factory ford parts aside from the cut up factory intake and custom fuel rails.
Good luck.

Parts are starting to show up. Got a polished midplate for $40 shipped to my door. The blower and other parts should show up this week. Here are some pics of the midplate on the engine.

Project looks very cool!
Given the larger displacement of the 6.8 over the lightning motor, and the fact that the lightning (with the standard pulley's) only makes 8lb, it will mean you will only be making 6.4 ish lb's.
Do you plan on increasing the pulley drive ratio to compensate?

I plan on running the stock bottom end on 8lbs of boost. This supercharger kit will be better than any kit on the market due to it being intercooled. Another plus on this kit is if any thing goes wrong I can get replacement parts at any ford dealership across the country!
Already have the spare motor that I'm doing the mock-up on. This is the motor I'm building for big boost. I already have diamond forged piston so all I need is the H-beam rods. That motor is a 2003 so it has the better spark plug holes in it so I don't have to worry about blowing them out. I have a friend that owns his own shop with a dyno and is very good with tuning fords. We will be using SCT software for the tune.
