Thanks, it's gonna be one tall setup, although I have seen it done. Won't pose a visibilty problem in my A-100, though
Kinda hard to find low rise 2X4 manifolds for the small block (Offenhauser has some but with the 273-318 ports).

I'm wondering about the B&M 250 if it's similar to the 53 series or not, the 250 was different because it looked more like a smaller version of the Mega Blower (it used the same manifold, a 2" gilmer style drive, had a bolt-on carb adaptor) rather than a bigger version of the 142/174 (or 144/177 if forget which one was the B&m and which one was the Weiand).
Anyone know if a 250 series B&M (now Weiand) blower has helix rotors or straight? I know all the B&M stuff had teflon strips.

BDS 8-71 CUDA - thanks for the tip about the belt jumping. I did not know about it.

Thanks,
Ran
