I'll let ya know in about a month:D
Doug said all of the bolts will line up except for the bottom one on the block. I'm gonna give it a try.
Yeah the bracket will only be held on by the head though.
I was looking into this for the future as well.
I'm gonna try and run that way. If it chucks belts then i'll try and fix it. If i can't fix it i know alternative auto in MI makes a windsor bracket.
I figured maybe the lower hole for going into the block could be slotted out for the increased deck height. Kinda ghetto yes but better than nothing.
I am sure some sort of bracket could be added to attach the main bracket to the block. You could also run a blower support from the bracket to the shock tower as well..

the alt. auto bracket is for the vortechs
maybe fred, blue91 will chime in. He has a 2k on his 351 car.
I believe Vortech and Paxton share the same main bracket.
So the Alternative Auto one would work if you wanted to go that route.
Thanks everyone.
I went and looked through Alternativeauto.com, and they didn't have their products section running, so does anyone know a part # or know what kind of price they are- so I don't have to call.
I'v heard there are motor mounts that can allow for a 351 to be tucked under a stock hood, is this rumour true?
Thanks again
I'm pretty sure the base is universal between vortech/paxton. I'd be willing to try the strut tower brace for sure. I'll know for sure in mid january. The rumor on the motor mount is true as i just recieved a set of hpm 3/4" drop motor mounts today.
OK BOYS! what am i gonna do about headers? remember i have a panfill C4. Anyone have a windsor/fox pan and some headers to spare? LOL
The t5 headers and the C4 headers are the same. The AOD headers will not fit your car.

Hey sinner..........Ditch the windsor and go with a stroker and upgrade to a Novi 2000!!:D :D
The Vortech, Paxton, and Powerdyne back cast brackets are all very similar and can be interchanged. Fred/Blue91 had a Vortech back bracket that was originally modified by Alt Auto to mount a Vortech on a 351w. I borrowed his bracket and too it, along with a new Vortech bracket, to a local fab shop and had them copy it. Both of us are using these brackets to mount our Novi 2k's to our 351w's. I wasn't able to use the lower block bolt hole because of a couple of issues.
- I'm running a 9.2 deck 351 instead of a 9.5 deck
- I don't have a hole in the block at that location
The red bracket is Fred's/Blue91's. The plain aluminum one is mine:

My old credit card statements showing mustang part purchases made me look like that too! I even turned yellow as well!
LOL :D
I have a 432 Windsor (stroker motor) purchased from Speed-o-motive in S. California. It is a carb set up. 825 CFM Demon Carb mounted on a 351W Victor Jr intake, Edelbrock Victor Jr. 70cc aluminum heads. Compression on the motor is 10 to 1.
Please remember that I'll be running this motor in Colorado's thin air.
I have a Novi-1000 with the 2.75" pulley and an 8" crank pulley.
Suggestions or setup ideas on mounting this? I will be utilizing an electric water pump, I have no power steering or A/C to speak of on the Mustang. Should this be a straight up bolt on?
Carb hat suggestions?
I should be able to use a high flow bypass with this as well?

A hint of things to come...
your engine looks good,are you planning on using the 1k on your 432?is that a 0.60 over block to get those cubes?
im building a 351w at the moment that im putting a novi 1200 on using a carb and the c/r will be approx 8.5-1,my question is ,are you planning on putting a blower on your 10-1 engine?
im pretty new to using superchargers so please bare with me if my questions seem abit lame
as for your mounting issues,im not sure if the novi 1k and 1200 use the same mounting bracket ,but you should be able to buy the mounting bracket for a 1200 onto 351w from paxton

So far the stock Novi-1000 bracket works... 3 bolts are holding it in place... might brace it up somehow. I even used the smog pump (well... it is there... LOL)
Running it at 10 to 1 won't be an issue. You won't see any detonation at the lower rpm range with aluminum heads. Then you can dial out timing... or use the SNOW Meth system.

thanks for the reply mate,
im watching this with alot of interest as down here in new zealand this is NO ONE that i know of thats using a novi on a windsor.
im really interested in seeing how the 1k performs on such a large engine.
ive got the novi 1200 carbed kit for a 351 and would like to stroke the engine to 393-408 but dont know if the blower will handle it.
i have scored a 3.33 pulley and belt,gotta be an improvement over the 3.70 pulley.
anyway ill watch this thread with interest to see how it goes for you.
best of luck with your build mate and ill look forward to your updates-steve
itll be interesting to see what sort of power the extra cubes bring,im going for 351ci using the 70cc vic jr heads and about 8-8.5 cr,i hope you keep in touch so we can compare combos-my email addy if you are interested steharz@msn.com steve
I'll update the post as the project moves forward.
