You flatter me, Joe. I'm just trying to help in return for all the help
I've gotten over the years.
But since you put it that way, perhaps I should mention that the Judson is
an inferior design by today's standards. If you are serious about building
a blower TR motor, you'd be far better off looking for a modern Eaton. Or
if it has to be vintage, a period Rootes. Compared to the Roots type
blower, the Judson is less efficient, meaning it takes more power to turn
(for a given boost & flow) and also heats the mixture more (making
detonation more likely).
They also have a nasty habit of shedding abrasive phenolic bits into the
intake.
