Default Re: why no blowers in daily drivers?

I'll pull one off the shelf or find one on line, I picked two up a few years ago from Canada and Sweden , I was thinking about machining the side for a relief but I am always open for suggestions, they are a bolt on already for the 471, a little pricey though.
Iwas wanting to use ready made drive parts such as for a sb chev.( less machine time).
and plentiful, ellwood I see you have an austin manifold, will you post the mounting flange dimentions, I am also toying with 53 series blowers I was able to buy some good cores for aronud 10 to 40 dollars each, I think they would look at home on a 59A.
I am working on a drive snout and end plates to install bearings and better seals.
the Austin looks like what I think I need, I hope Mr. Austin is still making manifolds.
I grabbed some M-90s from the thunderbirds ,It looks like they would work good after seeing what ol Ron has set up, it may be the most cost effective way to go.

Regards,
Fordestes,
