--or--- an old blower case minus guts with carbs on top.



Yea then you can adapt some Chevy valve covers on to it too and eveyone will think you have a blown small block........... :albino:

I have seen the emply blower case b4 and I don't understand why you would go through all the trouble of installing one without rotors?

that blower intake is for a 6-71. I have a 4-71. There have been all sorts of cool intakes lately. Joel and I stacked 4 strombergs front to front (float bowls pointing out to the sides) on top of my blower the other night. looks almost like 4 webers sitting on top of it. Would need two fuel logs, one for each bank. The seed has been planted. A plate would be too easy. The one hole for each carb even lines up with the 4 studs on the blower!

About the gutted blower case, would that work?  Ive thought about that before, I didnt know if it would run well or at all with the air/fuel running through a big empty space like that.  Could be neat.

A blower with a clutch on it would be much cooler and you would save gas and have power when you need it in the post apocalyptic world.

 :lol: Ya, no kidding, eh? I have a stock 4 bbl carb and intake that I know works for each motor.  

One can install a 4 barrel in about 20 minutes on an olds if necessary.

I just like fiddling. E85 is the goal. This is assuming my car is "done."

EEEE85!?......I thought this was a traditional rod.  It needs to run on Ethel....course you're probably too young to know what that was.

The old joke if you worked at a gas station in the 50's or 60's....I'm going to go pump Ethel.
