Good luck .I looked for a blower set up for my 340 demon years ago and had no luck .try contacting BDS [blower drive sevices ] if you got a big block you should have no problem finding a manifold .

First, the car was a 69 Charger, not a goat.

Secondly, I just responded to your cam post. It seems like you don't know what you want (440+6, cam swap in current motor, blower etc.). There's nothing wrong with that, but make up your mind on what you want before you go picking parts. Putting a blower on your current set-up could be very harmful if the internals aren't up to the task. If it's an old motor, you will most likely get blow-bye as the rings will not be able to handle the boost. Also, if you are going to go wtih a blower, pick a cam that fits your blower. You may need less lift, but greater duration to help with the blower. Also, I think a wider LSA will make a blower easier to handle and tune (I'm not a blower guy, so I'm just going on what I have read).

Just set your mind one way, and go from there. It'll be cheaper in the long run to take some time now and decide what you really want.

Yea, I'm not up on all the differences year to year of MoPars, but I knew it wasn't a GTO.

Most any engine can support a blower is prepared correctly. Ex: 2003 Mustang SVT Cobra 280 Cubic Inches (factory Blower).
