Hey Guys, I am looking for any parts, any brand of Chain Driven Blowers assemblies. Howards, Crager and others made them in the 60's. I would like to do a little updating and retro fit a setup for a blown HEMI application. If you have parts or know someone with parts, leave a post, all photos or comments are welcome. GG
No matter how cool it looks you really don't want a chain drive, especially for the street. I've heard scary stories of what happens when they throw the chain. Not if... when.
last I knew Al Schram from tulsa was looking for that stuff too,I think he is known as n2top fuel on here.
Motorcycles have run chains front and rear for many years. I don't see why they'd be any great danger, especially encased like that pic. And before you say it, I have motorcycles that put out over 500 HP and pretty near as much torque.
dont know i once saw a chain on a z1 900 kawasaki let go and it came up through the rear fender like a buzz saw , gnawed the side of the seat , and almost got the riders leg , id rather lose a belt than a chain , just my 2 cents
I haven't researched this too much, but chain technology has improved since they were first put out. I agree a motorcycle style chain would just be waiting to come apart. How about adapting to a chain and gears used for a transfer case. The chains used in transfer cases are wide and can take a heavy load.
