it was changed a few months back ( pic attached) the drive setup initially from Wegner was what you see on the engine stand pics - and I could not access the 12AN fittings @ the blower intercooler - they re-engineered it all and sent me the new setup.

Beautiful car, love the detail, like the openings in the trim next to the headlights-for more air?
Back in the day, I had a 67, was a weird setup, factory 4 sp and 327/275, actually moved pretty
good for a big car.

I love the combo. Always wanted to do a serious screw blower on meth and a stick car. Damn blowers are so expensive! Makes me sad. Will be a fun video to watch!!

Is the 4.5 the same blower as the COPOs?

That I can't tell you - what I do know is its the higher ratio one ( they make ( made?) 2 versions - I already had belt slip - sent the drive pulley to griptech and had them work their magic on it and I installed a Gates RPM belt - helped incredibly. - as for pleasure to drive - it is and it isn't - it rides like a Cadillac but is so twitchy responsive to the slightest throttle touch it keeps you tensed up. eats E85 at like 3-4 mpg ( which I don't care about anyway) but that keeps me from ranging too far from the house.

If you are talking wheel HP, you are going to need a lot more injector.

I'd double the size of the heat exchanger and run the biggest hoses you possibly can with an ice box. That blower makes some serious heat when you start spinning it hard.
