Just lettin' yall in on my winter project for the TA. I've been doing alot of measurin', thinkin' and researching the last few weeks and I'm gonna put a roots blower on my car. I've had a lil gmc 4-53 forever and just realized it's the same size as a Weiand 142, perfect for the street.
I've found a place that makes everything I need for it to convert it for use on a gas engine. The main problem is making an intake, I don't know if I wanna start from scratch or try to mill down an LT1 intake and make it work. Another problem is the injectors, I might have to angle them in towards the center of the intake because this blower is almost as wide as the intake. I don't know how or if that will affect fuel delivery.
I've always wanted a roots blower on a motor and I'm gonna make it happen, oh this will be fun!!
Gimme a few months and I'll have it done, then I'll need somebody very good to tune it, I know nothing about tuning a blown fuel injection car.
