Default custom blower box for s-10?? to lay 20s...

does any one have or know someone that has made one that doesnt suck? ive read you loose so much air volume the blower just doesnt push enough air to really keep things cool? also does anyome have pics? i was thinking of just flipping the demensions of the box so its shorter but tall to try and keep the volume higher so the a/c blows somewhat as hard?

please any help would be appreciate.

i searched s10forums, thats the first place i went. found a couple of pics but nothing to indepth.

dime, i get what youre saying but when you do that you lose air volume that results in weaker blowing of the air? im trying hard to find someone that has already done this lol.

thanks for the info!

is the truck body dropped or going to be? We can build one for you This is of one with a truck that lays on 18s with a decent size tire, 225/45/18 that we did, what size tire are you running?
This one was not too extensive, just chopped the bottom off and fiberglassed it in, depending on your tire size we may have to build a new one out of sheetmetal, but granted you will loose some power of the blower, depending on How off set the new box is from the hole in the firewall.

The problem is when you start cutting the stock air box as much as needed for 20s you remove some of the inner circle that surrounds the blower cage. I,ve done them in steel and glass, never the same. the only why I know it works great is delete the stock system altogether and run a aftermarket kit like Classic Auto Air. Im actually fixing to do a fullsize C/K this way. You keep your stock condensor, and compressor out front, just adapt them to the evap case. Other cool advantage is a smooth firewall and a billet bulkhead that lines go thru.
Thats my .02
