Technical 392 Hemi Blower Intake Questions

I have a 1958 392 and have a line on a blower intake for it. i alreasy have a rebuilt blower, but will need a drive etx.

My questions are as follows:

1. Will this blower intake have any clearanee issues with drives or distributors that are readily available?

2. Would this be good for a street motor or opt for a new Hot Heads intake which may have improvements, better design than this?

3. Where can I source springs for the blow off/bypass/relief valve?

Thanks in advance

 

The blower intake should clear most any distributor or magneto without issue. The hotheads intake is no doubt a better design, but likely not enough to be noticable unless you plan on racing. The Mickey Thompson intake has a much better look if your trying to keep a period correct look. Dyers blowers in Summit IL should be able to suply any parts your missing.

 

I do like this for the early look

 

Everyone of the original intakes has a different height and some have a different blower location. If you bolt the intake on the engine and a pulley on the crank and use a straightedge vertically, you can get the dimension of which drive you will need. When it comes time for belt length, you will need center to center plus the number of pulley teeth to get the correct belt. I'm referring to Gilmer belts. If you're doing v belts, it's a different story.

 

I don't have any constructive input. However, that is bad ass.
