You only have to cut the firewall hole a bit bigger. A scroll saw or a
reciprocating with a thin scroll blade works nice. So does a grinder.

Welp it's in and whoaaa!! Does that thing blow crazy amounts of air. Now I
just have to figure out how to get half my vents to work properly so it
doesn't just come out of the one floor vent and the windshield (or is that
all it's supposed to do?)

Except don't ask for the same motor as the one the guy lists on the page.
Refer to Mike's post earlier about which exact one to get. The one they gave
me wasn't an exact fit. Also, I'd recommend a jigsaw or scroll saw over the
recipro ...unless you can see where you are cutting with the recipro. I
tried it and couldn't see my template line and ended up with some extra hole
:) Then again, I'm about as good with a recipro saw as I am with saying
"Toyboat" 20 times really fast. I.E. ...not good.

I asked for the one on the web page, 73 blazer with 350 motor and air, fit
perfect in my 81 CJ7, narrow track.
