does anyone have a 177 weiand blower under a stock hood or small cowl. im gettin ready to put a blower on in a few weeks and am wondering what all its gonna actually take to get the hood closed.

a peice of sheet metal, with four holes, and four hood pins usually does the trick!

man if i had a blower, id just leave the hood off, just so everybody knows

sorry man, after all that, i dont really have much of a clue.

but you get a free bump!

A couple guys have blowers with stock hoods. Are you putting it on a SBC or a BBC?

I had a 144 on a smallblock and with a dropped base air filter I could use a 3" filter,A 177 is the same height.

I am sure someone on here has a blue 71-72 swb Chev with a blower on it...just can't remember who. Doesn't help, but maybe the description will jog someones memory.

Don't know about the weiand clearance ,but the magnuson 122 fits with the stock hood, looks like a little sleeper and super quite...Don't even hear the whine until you reach about 4000 rpm....
