I've finally found and bought an old B&M manifold and blower for my 351 windsor. I bought it mainly for the manifold which is for a 351 rather than a 302 that I would need to run spacer plates with. The blower that came with it is, I think, a 142 cu. in. unit. I am going to buy a new 174 cu. in. blower to put on the manifold. Does anyone here know if there is a site where I can get dimensioned information on these small blowers? I've been to Holley.com and their site has nothing of use. Do any of you know the base dimensions for the different size blowers 142 144 174 177?
I am running a short reverse rotation serpintine belt water pump so I'm also going to have to probably machine down the length of the snout to fit in the small engine compartment of my model A but Holley does have different length snouts on different blowers but I don't know if they are all interchangable. You may or may not know that the Ford blowers have an offset snout to clear the distributer. Are these snouts the same bolt pattern and splines as the regular blowers that Holley sells? Do any of you people have this kind of info. or know where I can get it?

Any and all help will be very much appreciated. Thank you, Walt

I have a b&m 174 blower on my 406 I will measure outside sizes and snout length for you in the morning, anything else you need just yell.

I did a search on B&M and found that Holley bought them out.
Below is phone # for Bart Brashire a Holley Technician. The phone to Holley is 1-888-465-5395 and
Bart's direct no. is 615-384-0739

Was this the manifold that was just sold on e-bay about a month or so ago? If it was argggg I was bidding against you

I've been in contact with Holley and those guys in the so called tech department are no help at all. I have dissasembled the blower and I will be able to shorten the snout very easily but I still don't know if I'm going to be able to mount a larger 174 blower or not. I,ve also got a real tight fit with the air cond. compressor so if I can't deal with that I'll probably have to forget the idea of running a blower and I'll go with a set of Weber carbs instead. If that happens the blower setup will be back on E-Bay.

Hope this helps .

Bulletnose, I think his is a Ford not chevy

I thought he was looking for B&M Blower dimensions. Do B&M Blowers for Chevs & Fords have different dimensions ?
