Thread: Magunson Magna Charger for SBC - any out there?

Tech, I'm certainly no expert on blowers, but I wonder if the seals on the modern fuel injection blowers are up to the task of a suck through carb setup since they are all blow through. Any leakage could be a fuel/air mix. I know that there used to be a difference in turbo seals for blow through and suck though. Like I say, I don't know.

One idea might be to offset the SC over the valve covers and manifold the air over to a carb for a blow through. It would take some fabrication, but could be made to look good. Might even do a dual blower setup using a couple of small blowers to increase the displacement capability.

I like the idea of making it a blow-through, much simpler than doing the machine work to the blower. I don't know why I never thought of that.
