It’s not done and it’s a building inside of a another building haha. we have talked about pruning but the issue we come up with is, as I under stand it, having to bolt the blower to the manifold from inside the case. He’s not real into that idea.
Oh I'm plenty aware of what pruning a blower is. Ive been doing quite a bit of reading and research into what all its going to take to get the lil booger on the car. With xmas bonuses around the corner I can see a manifold in the near future.
Had to look it up. Here is more for other readers... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/whats-the-story-on-pruned-blowers.1227479/
Pruning, basically removing the external mounting flange. Properly done it makes the blower look like a barrel. Here is a U-Tube that shows the high tech way to do it. It can also be done with hack saw blades and a dremeland files and the like. Pruning A 4-71 Blower For A 59AB Traditional Flathead Build - YouTube Here are a couple of pics. Pruned and unpruned. Basically it is primarily an asthetic thing. makes for a more pleasing look.

Well I’ve got some great news @Hollywood-East came threw with an awesome manifold and a good luck shrunken head. I’ve been busy knocking the green off the car and putting my bonnieville disc on. I’ve got quite a need to buy list but I’ll starting knocking it down this next couple weeks, the fresh engine is in the works and it’s all coming together
Would ya just look at it! that’s a baaaaaaaad Man walkin did a little scribbling on the photo with some of Austin’s ideas
'Rad'... my teenage niece told me my '27 T highboy roadster was 'Totally rad'... Guess it went all the way. But atop deuce rails and flatty, I don't think it was as 'rad' as Austin's... Still, better a 'rad rod' than a 'rat' one...
Haha rad rod. I like that. “nice rat rod dude!” “thanks lady! It’s actually a rad rod but I appreciate the compliment “ haha
Santa, if your reading the hamb Austins been very very good and would love some mag wheels for his rad rod
Just be careful, when I was searching for a single I found out they're different size and shape, even though they are all Nicson, one is a little wider,longer and one is rounded off more on the back.
Merry Christmas to all my hoodlums here in HAMB land! My uncle gave me a stack of sound deadening Mat they use at Ford. So I played around
