I am always drawn to the rare, or hard to find things in life. I enjoy the idea, and people who take the road less traveled, especially when it comes to some mechanical things, like different engines. Recently, I discovered a 351c blower manifold......I wasn't aware that any one was casting one for the 351c. I am aware of the one that B&M used to make but this wasn't that one. And, I'm well aware of the dual quad manifolds that some blower shops sell, where they simply milled off the carb pads and welded a blower base shaped plate to it, but asthetically, and internally, it's not the same. I work at The Blower Shop now, and just this last week I saw a dedicated, cast, supercharger manifold in the shop that I didn't know anyone was making. I believe one of the Pantera parts manufacturers is producing this. It appears to take a low profile supercharger like our 250 series. This may not be for everyone, but Kudos to that manufacturer. I'm just old enough to remember back when our cars were just used musclecars, and most every Main Street where crusing was happening, had "Street Freaks" prowling with Tunnel-Rams and blowers sticking out of those hoods. Hot rodders were doing this way before phoney blowers like "Mad Max's" engine and " Fast and Furious" movies. Street Rods have done the blower route for decades now. Anyway, certainly an aquired taste, and most people don't want to cut their rare hoods these days, but I'm glad some people still get a kick ( no pun intended) out of it.
