BLOWN AWAY
The GM 4 /71 isn’t a blower
you’d be used to seeing on
a skid car – until Shannon
came along and rebuilt his
to suit methanol fuel and up
to 12psi of party boost. It is
mounted on a Redline tunnel
ram that Shannon modified
to suit by removing the
plenum and making his own
blower manifold
“I’ve never weighed
the Escort, but I think it is
around 1150kg,” says Shannon.
“I want it to run a nine, but
we’ll have to see what tweaks
it will need. The converter
might flare a bit more, so we
might need to look at
that now”
