Just wondering what you guys think of using a gas powered leaf blower for a blower. It will not rob the engine of any horsepower... I think I can get a cheap fuel injection off a Dord Escort. It's all I can afford. If you guys didn't know I don't have alot of money so I do all my own tunning.

I'm not rich either so I drive around the hood and look for blowers people are throwing out. I was trying to design a quad blower setup that will make twice the power of any Whipple and can run on 87 octane. I'm just gonna use an old radiator for an innercooler cause I'm innovative and don't have no money. I don't understand y guys spend big money on parts cause I just get mine outta the trash for free.

I think the crank will clean up nicely.

I'm interested in your crank. Can u e-mail me some "condition" pics? Is that a top fuel crank?

Another byproduct of the polar vortex - this thread. I had to take a leak before pulling this up. Now I'm sitting in a puddle. Thanks. Thanks a lot!!!

Right now its soaking in naval jelly. Ill try to get some better pics later. im thinking after i peen it a few hundred times with my hammer, i should get most of the rust down, to at least get it mounted in my lathe.

Would u b willing to send it to Brad Anderson or Alan Johnson to get it magged and checked for straightness? I think with all the rust it could be made into whatever stroke u want don't u?
