29,to save you some time Tic's60 wanted to put a blower on his W-motor and he spent hours on the phone researching this same thing.If you send him a PM or e-mail him I'm sure he will give you give his thoughts.He gave up the idea after he found out it would cost 25K to build a blown W-motor

When JUST the blower manifold is 2500! Well that killed the rest. All in all 10k+ in parts, New, never did get to machining and pistons rods on and on.
If I could find a used manifold, good luck, I would buy it Now and save it. Did find a MT cross ram in Jersy though<G> Might just be heading this way...

i called BDS, and was quoted a price of 3700.00 for a polished kit, thats everything needed.

After a few calls looks like a cross ram is heading this way. Should work well with the stroker. Now all I need is a buyer for the matching number tri power I have. I would make a killer deal before I rekit the carbs and also add in another manifold. Offers???

I remember seeing a long time ago a blower manifold that was hand built on a 409 it had the top part of the manifold (2x4) cut off and an adapter to a blower had been welded on, someone who could weld aluminum and had access to a machine shop should be able to come up with something. It had a GMC blower on it. If I remember correct, the pistons had been simply milled down to lower the compression ratio.

The two piece manifold that Lamar has will work for a blower.
Just use the lower half and bolt the blower on top,,,,,dqhttp://pic2.picturetrail.com/VOL5/1590826/4236257/61928687.jpg
