well i have a newly rebuit 1700 WO type 4 sat on the garage floor and as winter is aproaching and the current 944 rear disc brakes are nearly done i fancy sticking a blower on the old girl .. Im petty good with all the fabrication stuff and my thought was mount an eaton blower and pipe it to the twin dells . Has this been done and does anyone have any decent links Obviously its not quite as simple as that as the carbs will need to be modified and pulleys made up but is it doable ?
A blower generates a lot of heat in the engine bay and also heats up the charge going ito the engine, which may not be very good for an air cooled engine. You will need to seriously think about how to keep things cool.

it`ll be going in the bus so its not going to all out rev the tits off racing just a few extra bhp .... i was thinking the judson was just a bolt on extra 20bhp . i`ll spend a few weeks researcing and decide but it would be cool as
My old pop had a blown 555ci v8 14/71 supercharger on methanol I also fitted an RO34 Supercharger on my 1938 standard 8 that had a 302 ci ford v8 in it - Love blown cars do it fella
