Which blower to fit under my hood.

[lt1 kenobi]

Ok so I have a 406 sbc... turns about 6200 rpm. I want to put a roots blower on it, keep the same rpm pull.. maybe drop down to 6k rpm. Here's the thing, I don't want to put more than a 3" cowl hood on the car. So.. who makes one that will work and what air cleaner do I need. I want one that will make power all the way w/out over spinning the blower.

I have the b&m 162 blower with a 4 inch cowl and a drop air cleaner base and the hood closes with no issues and i still have a bit of room.

Where do you get the drop base air cleaners? Do you think I could fit that under a 3" cowl... I really don't wanna have to go to a 4.

I got it through summit and if you use a 2 inch air cleaner it should fit just fine.
