Actually, if locate photos of a Detroit Diesel I4 (for example), will see it mounted to the side of the engine on the exhaust. That part that the top fuelers mount their injectors too, was actually the exhaust out to the mufflers and stacks. No, the GM blower (roots) got it's start scavenging exhuast from diesels. It was a drag racer, think Garlits that played with one and found out that if reversed the gears and air flow, the exhaust part of the roots becomes the inlet, and what used to be the inlet, becomes the base, or outlet into the manifold of their top fuelers. The roots blowers made for top fuelers made by Moonyham and the others have become made of aluminum to save weight and since are intake as part of top fuelers, don't heat up like the original cast iron, much heavier GM blowers originally used. The roots blowers used on those Detroit Diesels were for exhaust scavenging. Take apart an old GM blower from a diesel, and will find it full of black soot.
