It’s always refreshing to see creativity used to the fullest advantages on a hot rod. This evil looking hotrod pickup is slightly extended in the nose region due to the front mounted roots type blower! WUT!? Yes, settle down now. While I can’t confirm exactly what goes on within the walls of those silver intake tubes, I have to assume that they aren’t the only thing holding the boost inside. How does it work you say? Well… The crankshaft has a …well… shaft coming off the front of it. That shaft passes through some bearings, and has a dual pulley on the front side. That dual pulley spins the supercharger, which begins moving air. The air then flows up the duct work to the blow-thru carb, and voila, “Bob’s your uncle.” Like it, Love it, Lust it. The choice is yours and yours alone.
Like it! and Bob is my uncle!
That is some shaft-driven cool-ass blower action right there! WUT?! Dang it, but I wish I were more brilliant and could fabricate anything.
I think he gave the top mounted super charger the shaft.
