[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1427038, member: 20286"] I'm talking about an engine that Ford prepared for the autoshows. It was the 2020 GT500 engine on a stand with cutaway components. I'd bet a dollar I saw the clutch on the cutaway blower and it was clearly labeled as such. I remember thinking, "How come nobody has mentioned THAT in any reviews?" Wait, I know, it's because most people doing the reviews don't know jack shit about the actual mechanics of how things work and don't even realize what a massive benefit the clutched drive offers. I wouldn't worry about the clutch itself, it's pretty much how all the transverse engine AWD systems work. They clutch the rear diff pinion gear to put power to the rear wheels. They can easily hold 100+ HP. I'm saying maintenance of the blower as in the bearings and seals. They go out eventually, but it's only a few hundred to get them rebuilt typically. Then again, if you could de-clutch the blower and not spin it all the time, the bearings and seals would last a lot longer too. If I can find that pic or vid, I'll link it... [/QUOTE]
