Inliners International Forums General Discussion Blown and Injected Blown 6 or Straight 8

Hi Folks
This is a great idea for a new subject area! I have a 1925 chrysler I am building in the style of a bord track racer. Here is the general idea:

These cars were all inlines, and after about 1925 they were all supercharged. My car didn't come with an engine or trans so really, anything could happen! I'd love to see pictures of GH's blown buick eight. Also i know there was a blown Chrysler airflow at bonneville a few years ago. I've also been following along on the research being done on belt drive turbos (see link)

They do some different stuff there.Any pictures or info would be appreciated

Lief is this a flathead engine ?

low RPM engines may not work very well with a belt driven turbo, since turbo style compressors need to turn high RPM. maybe a normal supercharger would work best at lower RPM

just my thoughts-harry

Leif, check my web site for photos of the Buick straight eight, geocities.com/garyhartracing

this is my blown chrysler(hemi 265)in my '23 buick

what is that blower from? That all looks pretty Sweet.

Can you tell us more about your set-up and perhaps post more pictures? That looks terrific!

Thanks:
