What's the low down on this blower? What does it need to spin and compress?

With all of the skilled welders on this project we can't fix that end plate? What's wrong with the shaft housing?

Repairing the 174
It's looking kinda bleak on the 174. I talked to Troy at Ford Performance Solutions today and he said he used to run one long ago, and several broken units came through his shop, but nobody wanted to touch them; something to the effect of "can't be rebuilt."
He suggested that since B&M now own McLeod we might call over there (local) and see if they just happened to have any blower bits laying around or know somebody that might be able to repair it for a reasonable price. Didn't sound too optimistic though.

Max Power for a 302 Block
FYI: Troy said these blocks are safe to about 550 BHP stock, and with a main support to about 650 BHP.

If the blower isn't going to be able to be fixed then lets ditch the hydraulic roller and put in a solid flat tappet that will turn some high rpms. Something like this Lunati. Then add a good single plane intake like a Victor Jr. We can also keep the independent rearend and the 4.10 gears. |

I think this is an excellent baseline fall back, but I'd still like to explore the possibility of other options. What about a Paxton Novi 1000, or other cheap centrifugal? I have the resources to mill a custom bracket. And don't tell me a Mad Max style turbo setup wouldn't be kinda fun.

Ok, at this point, I think a turbo kit would be the cheepest way to go. Get a T70 and boost it to the moon!!!! Should go solid anyways!!! Solid rolller.... Y pipe to single turbo, shit don't even need a intercooler, NOS or METH. Need to spend money on a blow thru carb... or an aftermarket FI system. Carb would be cheeper.  |

Are there off-the-shelf turbo manifolds for the 289/302? I haven't looked too much.
