The blower fabrication wizard from Finland
Found some interesting pictures on a thread on For A Bodies Only. The guy who kicked off the thread was talking about how hard it can be to get supercharger intakes for Chrysler W-2 cylinder heads. Well, it seems that in Finland, it's not too easy to get off the shelf supercharged intakes for any small block Chrysler, especially not if you are going with something other than the traditional 6-71 supercharger. A Finn who goes by the rather apt screen name of "Dartblower" stepped up and filled the thread with lots of photos of how he converts all kinds of intake manifolds to accept superchargers. Many of them were reworked for fuel injection or nitrous at the same time. Very impressive. This is what hot rodding is all about: Not accepting the limits of what you've got.
