Need Help - Blower Motor for Heat / Engine Bay

[asphaltgambler]

I am ALMOST finished with my 3.4 hot-rod build for my '85 Targa. I installed the plastic 964 intake and used the heat block-off plate (off of the fan housing) to maker sure all cylinder receive the same amount of fresh cool air.

I have B&B headers with heat boxes plumbed with the OE Y-pipe up through the engine sheet metal.

PROBLEM: I want mount the blower motor under and behind the intake on the drivers side to eliminate the uglies and to tidy up.
I will use 2-3/4" ID tubing with the needed bends to go from the rubber mouth at the sheet metal to where I want to mount the blower motor.
The current blower motor (OE) is just too large in overall size to accomplish this.

QUESTION: I need a blower motor that is at least 1/3 smaller maybe even less but with enough CFM to move the fresh air into the heater boxes. Does anyone have a website or contact or know where to purchase what I need???

Thanks!!

I have a blower motor that is small, but is as good as the original 911 one. It may be the ticket. It is not like the 911 blower at all. It's kinda like an inline tube blower.

Give me till tonight and I will pull it out and take picks of it for you and get you more information.

Okay I found a pic online.



Its a CFM250 12volt marine boat bilge blower. I think I paid $40.00 for it new. Its an inline blower and has a 4" opening.

It might work?

Tey make a 3" opening version as well.

Many thanks!

I found this information:

3" Blower
------------
3" (7.62cm) Intake
3" (7.62cm) Exhaust with remote bracket
8" (20.32cm) Length
4-3/4" (12.07cm) Mounted height
CFM 170 Air movement.
Ignition protected 12V DC, 4.0 Amps
Use 6 Amp fuse.

4" version
--------------
Size: 4-1/2" x 6-1/6" x 5-1/32"L.

There are also other versions available. Do an ebay search using "Attwood Turbo In-Line Blower" and they will come up.

I hope this helps.

Did any of of you follow through with this idea? I am thinking about doing something similar on the fresh air side of each HX.

I'm just removing the blowers ;P.
