will a 144 blower and carb fit under a ss hood on my camaro with the right air cleaner?

 

somebody has to know???

 

I asked the same quston long time ago and I think it was no. You need at a 3" cowl with a 2" dropbase filter. but I also thought about a carb bonet they sit lower than a filter does well some of them do. But I still thank its to high.

 

damn....too bad i already bought the ss hood....are you sure you can't make it fit??? too bad centrifugal superchargers weren't as cheap as the roots style....

 

Too bad roots style are not as efficient as centrifigul.

You might be able to make it work with Holley's High-tech filter.

Part #64280


The only downfall is its 225.95 through summit. But the only real way is to get the specs from Holley on their 144 roots blower, find out how tall your carburetor is + filter and measure.

 

i see the centrifugal charger for carb motors is like 2200 bucks from like jegs or summit....does anybody know where i can get one for under 2grand then i'd just get that...

 

Wiend’s 142 Roots Blower (bolt in put the carburetor on tune and GO!!!!!!!) 1539.00 + S&H through summit you will not find a centrifugal complete bolt in for under 3K. If you decide to go the centrifugal route look into something made for TBI car the TBI bonnet will bolt to a carburetor. I think there was a guy a while back bought a Vortech TPI Setup from SuperchargersOnline.com and asked for a TBI truck bonnet. It looked like was almost direct bolt in.

 

so your saying the wieand 142 blower will fit under my hood?

 

No I was just showing you options. I can't say it will fit cause I don’t know. Also you will need to buy a blow through carburetor or modify yours if you are going centrifugal. Anouther thing have you already done the TPI to Carb swap or do you still have the TPI on your motor?

 

i still have the TPI on my motor.....i'm startin to rip the engine and everything out next week, so i need to have a plan pretty quick...

 

Well since you still have TPI I’d just get a centrifugal blower for TPI and keep the TPI cause your still likely to see about 100+hp gain with that vette motor. You will also have the great mpg of TPI.
