Have you guys seen the episode of "Storage Wars" where the guy finds an unused Potvin blower in a storage unit?
What a find.
What a find.
Yes, and you can still get the drive from Moon: https://www.mooneyesusa.com/product-p/potvin2009.htm
When I built my car 30 years ago I was missing the front cover for the blower. I knew Moon had bought Potvin in 1963, so I called them. No, they didn't stock any of the pieces. But they had the molds in the warehouse and would I like them to make one for me? $75?! I would most certainly like them to make one for me.

Are there any reasonably priced blowers?

First, what do you consider 'reasonable'?
Second, try to account for the other things that are going to be required and add those prices in too.
The blower requires a drive system and intake.
Bigger cooling, bigger fuel feed, bigger brakes and tires? and maybe some frame lengthening and strengthening.
You can shop online and see what the big guys and the specialists are charging, but it's never going to be a thin wallet deal unless you can scrounge used deals and rebuild and assemble yourself.
