Found a Jimmy blower...

[the duke]

Hey everybody! Well today was a half day at school so me and my buddy got to hang out at the scrap yard longer than usally. While he and I were scrounging through the engine pile we happened opon a giant ass General Motors Diesel engine. At sitting a top was a big ol' blower, which of course both of us agreed we must get. So after toiling in the mud and grease we had ourselves a blower. After looking some more we found a old outboard motor and then found a Hurst Indy shifter that I had hidden on a previous occasion. So for five bucks the entire lot was ours and on our merry way we went. Although its really dirty and isn't set up for use on a gasoline engine it still made me happy!

Lotta work to adapt those to a gas V8 but somehow cooler in a way to say "I did it myself." Good score.

even if you don't want to spend the time and money to put that on the motor it would make a bad ass door stop!
