Find out where your local HVAC shops are and get a blower out of an old furnace. They move air very well, at great quantity, and will last forever!

A couple of years ago I cut a 12" by 6" hole in the heating/AC duct that runs across the ceiling of my garage. I put a return air vent with a door I could close in it.

Now I can work on the Vette in 70 degree comfort on the hottest days of the year....

I just replaced my 4 ton HVAC unit in the house. I saved the old unit to put in the garage someday. Now all I need is for someone to come install it for me.
