Is it a one size fits all and you make up alignment issues with spacers or are they very specific to each engine? Can you use a blower that was on a small block chevy and put it on a small block mopar. I know that the intake is different, but the blower is still the same is it not? The more I get into this the more I realize I don't have a clue as to what is really needed. Jack

I am looking at a small block setup, 360 magnum with an Indy intake. If you are wondering about the choice of intake, none of the blower retailers seem to have an intake for a 5.9. Jack

I know dyersblowers.com sells a roots intake for small block LA mopar, you'd have to redrill if you have magnum heads. Only problem is their SB mopar intakes costs an arm, leg, kidney and your left lung! $1300

I can live with that. Jack

I think what I will have to do is pick up the intake and a blower minus the snout if I see a smoking deal on one. Then get my measurements and order a snout and pulleys. Maybe even buy a complete setup and then sell what I can't use to help pay for what I do need. This is if I see a great deal on a used one. Jack
