Yes, it's been done on cars as well. There is a Chevy wagon with twin blowers that shows up at the GoodGuys.

There probably isn't a huge market for a motor like that, but I'd be willing to bet that motor cost a lot more than that to build.

I'm wondering if you could fit that particular motor in a car... That would be sick!

Looks cool,but you could probably get the same results with a single 8-71 blower.

Twin supercharging is very common, albeit a dying technology, in marine applications. It is usually twin positive displacement compressors and the reason is, the two together generate boost while keeping rotor speeds to a minimum which increases longevity of the power unit as a whole.

The red Chevy wagon out of Vacaville has twin supercharges, only push about 3lbs each but I've seen this alot. Now for the price F no!!

lol it's worth the money.. cheap ass people have no clue what you are even looking at..


"all aluminum 604 cubic inch Indy engine".. this isn't your fully built stock bottom end 306. it's close to $5k for the bare block. another 6-7k for rotating assemble. 6-9k in heads. most of you can't even afford the block let alone everything else..

yeah you could DEF spend that much and then some building that motor. but If I was sitting on $26k and thinking of building a motor, not sure if I'd be combing through CL.

yeah easy.. i bet he has upwards of 45k into this motor. if he gave a full break down of parts you could get a better idea..i'm thinking he has atleast 25k into it with out the 2 chargers. i bet that is another 15k. if i was looking for a big block hemi, i'd be all over this.
