Since they are getting so popular... I felt left out & had to build one.
Actually, it took months to gather all the parts, with much of it sitting since November.

Concessions were made since a cathedral port 2.9 Whipple was already purchased.

I started with a Thompson/Dart 427 for a strong bottom end & a set of Frankenstein heads.

It is destined for a 55 Chevy truck with a full aftermarket chassis.
I'm using all polished stainless fasteners & trying to make it look good since it will see some car shows.

Hell yah!
You did it right...you have the blower first!
I got the order wrong(!)

Are you building for occasional track runs? There's something magical about ~427~ that's for sure.
Need more pix!

Does the Dart use 1/2" head studs?

Does the Dart use 1/2" head studs?

7/16ths standard, could machine for 1/2 studs if you'd like

Here are some more pictures...

The Wegner drive is very nice.
It uses an 8 rib ATI shell to drive the blower & an accessory 6 rib in front for all the accessories.

I started with a 3.7 pulley.
It will be controlled by a Holley Dominator system.

I'll post some more detailed pictures later.
