Searching a pic about a pickup with blower engine ??

Hy all

hope someone can help me out ...i am searching a pic i have seen on the internet...

It is a silver pickup 47-53 ( so far i can remember, maybe another color) with a huge blower engine...

To fit the engine into the truck, the guy did a very huge cutout (opening) of the hood...

Maybe someone knows that picture ???


Thanks
Achim

Thanks for the link


The Cutout was alot bigger , not only a little hole for the air cleaner..

It was like the upper half of the hood was cut out.

the pickup has an air intake like on the first pic...

The cutout of the hood is even bigger than on the last 56 pickup...
