    Any pictures of early 50s Chevy's with blowers? If it has a roots blower does it clear the hood? Does it disrupt the lines with the carb sticking up (possibly out of the hood)? And if it has a centrifugal blower, post the pic and any details would be nice.

    That looks good. In fact that is the view I want from the outside of my car. Nice rake, clean and very respectable looking, and just a slight hint of what lay beneath the hood. But it also makes me very concerned if I run the 871 on the big block that there isn't any way it will clear the hood without a hole. But, hopefully there will be more posts so I can see if my fear of a hole in the hood is justified.
