Our opinion would be that the level of manufacture and modification of existing components would far outweigh any advantages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be done, but the blower would be way out the bonnet due to clearance clarence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
