what are the dimension differences compared to the 2.3ltr whipple ?

Any chance of a side by side comparison...

Cheers

The cross section is the same, as are inlet bolt centers, if the drawings on the Whipple site are still good. It appears to be pretty close to a 3.4 in overall length. I'm really anticipating moving from the 2.3 Lysholm/Whipple to the new 2.9. I'll be able to keep my same pre blower manifold and everything should line up nicely with a non-snout. I was contemplating the 3.4, but that would require major surgery and some parts that are no longer made. I think the 2.9 is going to be the belle of the ball for most motors.
