How to install a centrifugal supercharger in a 96-97 4.6L Thunderbird, part 3 (parts installation)

Part 3 of a series from BadShoe Productions on installing a centrifugal supercharger in a 96-97 4.6L Thunderbird. This part shows installing the radiator on the modified lower and upper support and brackets. I verify the proper placement of the upper radiator hose to clear the air intake and bypass tubing. The supercharge is bolted and torqued to the blower bracket along with the new idler pulley. Once I bolt the blower assembly to the engine, I got a surprise. I discover a problem when installing the drive belt that is not mentioned in the instructions. You find this out as I do in the video. However, later, I did find it is possible to get the drive belt on if you remove the 140mm bolt and 2" spacer under the alternator. The belt will fish between the blower and idler (barely). I'll detail that in part four. All components are correctly positioned for final assembly with only the MAF sensor and right coil bracketing to be made. That will all be done in part four along with adding coolant and starting the engine. Although this kit is not intercooled, an air to air intercooler upgrade might be preformed later. Stay tuned for more videos in this series from BadShoe Production.
