Rolls Royce into a hot rod. The guys Install a blower motor to
increase horsepower. Why? Per Tommy, "Andy likes big, heavy metal
objects that go fast!" Process: Removed engine. Used a mock-up
block (exact duplicate of a Chevy small block) to make sure the new
engine would line up correctly. Fabricated new motor mounts to
support engine and transmission. Installed new $15K 650 horsepower

allow room for the new motor. Left the remainder of the car "as
is".
