Just found this, thought I'd post it.



Looks like they took an Eaton or Whipple and have it blowing thru a hole in the top of the plenum.

Just thought it was pretty neat. Its in a 36 Plymouth.

I always figured something that used the TPI lower, and a roots was probable, like the whipple/kenne bell is on mustangs (uses mustang lower manifold). but my idea was shorter and sacrificed nearly all the runner length. that would be nice in a pickup, with the runners retained for low end torque and the smallish M90 it would have a strong midrange as well. it could be a very powerful and fuel economical powerplant. have you guys seen the new whipple kit for that new GM vortec 4200 275 HP inline six Im sure it makes over 300 hp with it!
