Anybody do an F1R on an lt1 yet?Jeff 96 SS 04-17-2006, 08:56 AM I have an anoying seal leak on my D1 that is oiling my belt up. I will fix it but I was planning to go bigger next year anyway and I may do it now. What do you all think about an F1R on a well built 396 LT1? Jeff 96 SS BLOWN 96 TA 396 D1 drivefast4fun 04-17-2006, 10:27 PM Never seen it, and the guy on the phone at ATI had told me that the D series was the biggest that would fit without fabrication. Of course that was about a year and a half ago.....so I say do it. Then call out an 8 second import and take them out as well! Jeff 96 SS 04-17-2006, 10:32 PM I figure their will be a little Fab work but it is only a little bigger I think I can make it fit. the piping will be the creative part. I'm about ready for an 8 second import now :) Pretty damn close with the current setup. Jeff Sean94Z 04-18-2006, 08:20 AM I haven't seen anyone with one, but from what I heard, you just have to make those aluminum stand-offs a bit bigger so the blower clears the block, and move your fans forward about 1/2".. Jeff 96 SS 04-20-2006, 06:25 PM Nothing? Am I the only one crazy enough to try this :)? Jeff BADST95 04-21-2006, 01:04 AM I have an F1 on my LT1 using the D1-SC brackets. I had to grind off a little bit of the block to make the F1 fit. The F1R is a decent amount bigger than the F1 and I highly doubt that the F1R will work without having some custom brackets fabricated. http://www.camarohighway.com/MFBA/2005/FLP-0402/IMG_0363.jpg http://www.camarohighway.com/MFBA/2005/FLP-0402/IMG_0365.jpg http://www.camarohighway.com/MFBA/2005/FLP-0402/IMG_0455.jpg Jeff 96 SS 04-21-2006, 09:01 AM Did you use the D1SC brackets or the D1 brackets? I have never heard of having to grind the block for an F1. markinkc69z 04-21-2006, 10:08 AM The F1 is approz .400 thicker so it moves the volute rearward causing it to hit the block until you grind clearance. The volute itself is identical externally to a P1SC or D1SC. The F1R will not fit between the block and bracket with the standard bracket orientation. Parts would need to be fabricated. tubby 04-22-2006, 11:19 PM ditto all that. the f1 fits with a little grinding good luck on the f1r. 96 WS6 04-25-2006, 03:22 PM Keith from Force Fed Performance in Roseville has an Lt1 with an F1... among other things.
