Default Need Blower Information

I have no clue what blowers can go on a Vette of course having the correct intake helps!

Anyway.. I found someone that has a blower off a Ford Lightning.

I have no idea what kind the blower and I have no part numbers, but I can get a really good deal for it.

Anyone know if this will fit a corvette with the correct intake?

Thanks!

Ford blowers are integrated with their intake manifold and are front belt driven. I think it would be a major undertaking to try to adapt one to an LS1. Any money saved in the purchase would be eaten up in the conversion in my opinion.

not to mention that blower has the intake on top of it so it is SUPER tall. No way it would be worth it.
