Default small block, blower hood clearance

Wondering what superchargers will fit under a 4 inch cowl hood with a small block, if any. thanks for any help. Looking at the weiand 177. Or even a 6-71. Are there any others out there? thanks for any help

The 177 should definitely fit under a cowl hood,they claim it will fit under most stock hoods.

i keep reading about a weiand 250 supercharger. And even read one article that it sets even lower than the 177. But i can find NO info on a 250 supercharger even made. Nothin on the weiand/holley site. Anybody know anything about this? thanks

Maybe one Whipples. They are many sizes.

If there's any doubt you can go with a centrifugal supercharger like a Pro Charger, or a Paxton style that mounts at the front down low on one side of the engine.

A P-1 Pro Charger will rock your world and still keep the motor happy. A F-1 may give you and the motor a heart attack.
