This is my project A 8/71 Dyers blower Hilborn injection Enderly hat, We made the fenders six inches longer to make room for the blower drive stuff and radiator we are making a full frame tubed in the rear for 17x 33x16 tires and Mustang front suspension here are some pictures. Thanks Leny Mason

That's baddass , Leny!

Blown cars rock!

Gott'a get started on my '65 Cyclone project. Not quite as radical as yours...but still FE powered.

It doesn't look like your blower belt will play nice with your distributor. A pal of mine has the exact same problem. Let us all know the fix.

Tommy this is what I am doing to move my distributor cap out of the way of the blower belt. Leny Mason

mike7570 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 07, 2016, 05:06:04 PM »

Here's an odd distributor on a cammer built by a late friend of mine. Not sure where it came from but in makes room for the belt.

Cool car fun to set the points on it, is it your car I love it. Leny Mason

BH107 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2016, 06:25:50 PM »

Butch's distributor setup clears normal blower pulleys. The car originally had a mag mounted upside down like the one above, but the new setup is much cleaner. Your setup looks great too Lenny.

Another common way if not running a water pump is to run it off of the stub cam, especially if the fuel pump is running off of the idler gear.

Tommy-T · « **Reply #57 on:** June 07, 2019, 01:53:41 PM »

Wow, Leny!
That painted on trim looks great! Glad you're getting toward the end of your project.

I took the taillight housings and peripheral chrome pieces for them, and the headlight doors to the chrome shop yesterday. A thousand bucks! Geeze pot metal is expensive to chrome. Taking the rear panel trim to be polished today. At least a '65 Cyclone doesn't have belt line chrome the length of the car like a '64. My Cyclone has a stainless molding at the bottom of the rocker box that goes between the front and rear wheelwells. It's held on by plastic clips that are held on by rivets coming out of the body. The plastic clips are not reproduced. Go figure!

Anyway, your car is badazz! Hope the cammer acts the way you want it to. Big power for sure. I ran a 8-71 on my 454 incher for years in my Mustang and they're violent as hell. Have fun!

Hi, I am having a hard time bleeding the brakes, My master cylinder is under the dash and I put the reservoirs next to the speaker in the dash and that turned out ok but we put the carpet in before bleeding the system, a bad idea found some leaks I hope it doesn't hurt the carpet, I have Willwood calipers and they are not bleeding very nice dangit .

turbohunter · « **Reply #100 on:** January 09, 2021, 11:25:10 AM »

Leny take a good look at your Wilwoods.
There are different sets of what look like bleeders. The larger are not the bleeders. It’s the smaller ones.
I did the same thing and wondered what I was doing wrong.
It’s an easy mistake to make.

When I read this I confused myself so let me restate.
The bleeders are very small and not readily apparent if you don’t look closely. Us older guys have a hard time seeing.
The adjusters are very small. Maybe 1/4 inch. Can’t remember. Anyway don’t turn the larger nut part there is a very small adjuster. The correct adjuster will do a nice 1/4 turn bleed. The larger nut is just a base for the adjuster.

Yup, went out to my car and checked. 1/4 inch hex.

Hi, I have went through 3 pints of brake fluid and very little brakes, the 1/4 bleeders are there and working it is frustrating, maybe the air is coming from the master cylinder they sent me a new one right after I got the brake assembly because it was faulty maybe I still have a problem.

Stangman · « **Reply #102 on:** January 10, 2021, 07:42:10 PM »

Lenny had the same problem, I tried everything ended up being a bad new master. I called willwood and they also thought it was a master after I told them what I did. Got a new master and Wala brakes.

Leny Mason · « **Reply #103 on:** January 10, 2021, 08:12:39 PM »

Thanks this one is from New Zealand so I hope I can figure it out with out sending for a new one, it seems like every once and a while a wrench gets thrown in our plans.

Leny Mason · « **Reply #104 on:** January 27, 2021, 08:49:57 AM »

Hi well the master cylinder is leaking it to the booster dangit, so I made adaptors to center the wheels to the hubs and had to make lug nuts to fit the wheels and had them chromed, it turned out nice, we started to make stainless headers today, 2 1/4 primers and 3 1/2 collector's, I am glad we got rid of the shock towers and made the front end longer way more room.

do you know about how much power that engine is going to make?

Also need to remember that Wilwoods need to be bled from both inside and outside. The two sides do not communicate. Took somebody an afternoon to realize that....

turbohunter · « **Reply #108 on:** February 02, 2021, 03:24:31 PM »

I think you and I had the same experience Barry

Leny Mason · « **Reply #109 on:** February 03, 2021, 09:38:26 AM »

Thanks, My Wife and I bleed and bleed, it still made air then it started to leak out of the front of the master cylinder, so they are sending me a new one and a spare we hope this fixes it, the headers are all tacked together so out with the engine and get ready to start it.

Leny Mason · « **Reply #110 on:** February 08, 2021, 04:34:45 PM »

I made drain plugs that except Bosh style knock censors, and we are going to try them there in the block drain plugs I hope the will work there Leny.

Sanding and buffing on the firewall and fender wells, it looked great before, I must have a mental issue but it is shinning nice.

Wiring the engine it has a lot of wires, then I put thermal couples on each cylinder for temperature readings two more wires on each cylinder.

That cammer is baddazz! Hope to see it out here at Bakersfield.
My Comet is still in paint jail. I hope to have it home soon so I can finish it up.

Don't wipe all the paint off of the firewall or you'll have to paint it again!

Parts are fitting well now, every thing has to be modified in some way it seems like I have bought two of everything trying to make them fit.

So Lenny, what's the pulley ratio and expected boost level?

Leny Mason · « **Reply #122 on:** April 08, 2022, 08:20:47 AM »

I had to go with a 8 MM belt pulley My 1/2 inch pitch belt was slipping, and the adjuster was slipping on the snout so I had to make a brace to hold it from moving, My new 8 MM pulleys are 57 driver and the driven is 53, it sounds nice now Leny Mason.

Hi Leny, Beautiful build. I saw your car on another site from 2020 and I knew you had to be hanging out on Jay's site.

Can you tell me about your ignition system? What distributor is that? Is it of your own design? I saw where W.Conley was asking about the coil packs, I've never seen a system that looked so clean.

I'm on year 8 of my 3 month build

and my car is nowhere near the class act you have there.

Thanks for sharing your build.

Dennis

Leny Mason · « **Reply #124 on:** February 19, 2023, 11:27:13 AM »

The ignition is from a Nissan V 8 I had to modifie it to turn the other direction and make adaptor coupling and front plate to drive it from the idler sprocket, thanks for the kind words Leny Mason.

Well I have put some miles on it and it is doing great except the other day the throttle stuck, and it took some time to get to the key and shut it down, I did some reading about the Enderle hat, You need two springs one on each side and some adjusting and it is working good now, kind of spooky for a few moments.

WConley · « **Reply #149 on:** October 11, 2023, 10:07:11 AM »

Thanks t is running very nice and drives good, it has taken a while to work some bugs out but fun, I am glad I went with 325 gears the power is manageable with 3500 stall, maybe when I get used to it I can go with lower gears.

Leny Mason · « **Reply #155 on:** November 23, 2023, 10:34:45 AM »

I have been driving it a lot, I need to do something different about cooling the blower, I have a water meth system squirting just above the blower to cool it but it is liking it to much, I have been going through six gallons every fifty miles I plugged off half of the injectors and I am still using two gallons in fifty miles, so I am going to put four Small injectors and and run them at twenty percent of the time with gasoline and see what happens, but it is way more fun to drive then building it, I was tired of working on it by for now Leny.

Tommy-T · « **Reply #156 on:** November 23, 2023, 11:06:54 AM »

Hi Leny,
Good to see you're driving your Comet.
Mine is driving too, but when it gets below 70*f here in Los Angeles, it's too cold to go outside.

As far as the water/ meth system on your blower, I had a Snow system on my 8-71 blown 454FE in my Mustang. I had plates under the carburetors that had 1 jet under each carb. It had a progressive controller that started injecting a 5lbs. and was full open at 9lbs. It worked fine, never "peppered" the spark plugs, and lasted about 30 gallons of gas before refilling.
With the amount of water you're using be careful of hydrolocking that motor!

Leny Mason · « **Reply #157 on:** November 23, 2023, 11:52:41 AM »

Hi, yes I am concerned about that we are shutting the solenoid and the pump at intervals it is though it is siphoning it I have had it with that so I am putting fuel to cool it.

machoneman · « **Reply #158 on:** November 26, 2023, 08:04:01 AM »

I see an OEM type fuel pump. Is that still in use for fueling?

Leny Mason · « **Reply #159 on:** November 28, 2023, 08:47:58 AM »

I have the stock fuel pump but it is not on the engine I am running Weldon fuel pumps one For Fuel and one for Water Meth.
