Well, the 327 I had originally built to go in the truck wasn't quite what I wanted anymore. So it's been marked to replace the 350 in my '78 Malibu. The plan now is to build a new 350 blower motor for my truck. I'm looking at the Holley 250 Powercharger, it's slightly shorter than a Megablower or Weiand 6-71. Hood clearance is an issue as I want to run a Hilbourn style air scoop and don't want the blower to stick through the hood. If the larger blowers would fit I might go that route as they are not much more than the smaller one.
Part 1: Bottom End

Part 2: Heads

Part 3: Blower buildup

Part 4: Ignition system

Part 5: Transmission

Part 6: Accessories & Installation

Important note here: I'm not planning to build a high boost 700 Horsepower engine here. I like the look of a blower, but want a reliable engine to boot. So compression will be low and the blower will be under driven.
