roots blower questions
Hey, would a roots blower fit a 350 H.O. crate engine?
Also, would it clear a RAII hood or do you have to go cowl?

1) As long as it doesn't have vortec heads and you might need to do some accessory bracket changing
2) A roots blower like the B&M 144 would require like a 4" cowl and a drop base air cleaner to barely fit. A real blower like a 6-71, well ...you know.

the only way i know of to have a roots and fit it under the hood is to use a smaller one like a M90 or M112 and fab everything up to work.... lotsa work, NOT a bolt in deal.
