Default Blowers,and things sticking out...

I seem to be all over the place hunting motivation,

I was thinking about a couple peoples cars here that have "things" sticking out of the hood, so why not a thread, post your car that has something sticking out, be it tunnel ram, blower, or injector of some sort...lets also allow in turbos and any odd weird exotic induction....

Here is mine. 1976 with a SBC and a small blower. It's a work in progress but it's getting there. A few more body mods and it will be ready for paint.




1976 C3 w/SBC 400 and L88 Flares



SBC 400 w/250 Holley Supercharger and 16 groove serpentine belt

Yep I didn't wanna name names but you can see how the sides where the vents are different to ecklers, what greenwood did was raised the center lump of an 80 style hood, then for those side pods he used 2x4's glassed over the whole works and made a mold, his didn't always have holes/vents in the sides.
One of his wrecked racers hoods was molded and I had the scoop on my 66, my sides had exhaust vents from a ski boat, fit perfect
