I dunno, old skool rodz had a feature on a 50 buick with a straight 8 and a blower...
it was sick...blower off to the drivers side and all
the 235 is pretty bullet proof...
I am not sure if you'd have to drop the compression, I guess it depends how many pounds the blower was pushing..
I would personally rather have a blower and a 235 than a small block 350... no offense to anyone here with that... I just think it would be cool to be different.
