I have a friend with a B&M blower on his chevy 350. it's an old kit from the 80s. the SMALL blower. I think they advertised then as a "underhood" unit. seems they were on every chevy street rod back then. seeing it got me thinking. my question is, does any company have a kit to put one on a mopar big block? a "bolt on" kit with all the parts...seems like DLI had one many,many years ago, but I havent seen one avaliable lately.

Yes I have one on a 440. Its an old DLI kit. Took a little more work than I planned but its coming around. Ran a 12.03 @111.44 mph Fri night taking it easy off the line,already broke one driveshaft. It does EXACTLY what it was advertised to do. Adds about 100hp. I figure at best my car would run 13.30`s with out it. Its a STOCK{rebuilt} 440 8.69cr,Stock 10.4 converter,3.55 rear. EST weight 3,800-3,900with driver. New 114c/l .509 cam. I want to try something bigger......someday. If you can accept cutting a hood adapting a blower to a 4bbl intake ain`t impossible. I looked into adapting a Small-Block Chevy intake onto a 440/ SuperStockers did this in the 80`s-90`s when only Chevy`s had good aftermarket intakes.

Oh,,, and it drives and idles like a stocker. Doubt I could have both with just a strong 440. Once you play with boost,you`ll want MORE I DO!!!

I've had a turbo 440 since 2001. I'm a boostaholic.

Many times an Offenhauser dual quad manifold is used to make a blower intake- and thats not just mopars. Ive seen Oldsmobiles with the converted Offy. Now even if you get an Offenhogger 2x4 manifold your still looking at $$$$$$$ to get it converted. In the 80s the B&M pamphlet had that blower kit (small chevy) that would bolt to a single 4bbl intake.
Keep old mopars alive.
