Are you gonna be able to use the stock hood? I was just wondering on clearance, clarence.

STOCKISH · 01-20-2009, 10:04 PM

Hard to beat the look of a BBC with a huffer on top. I'm jealous

big_al_71 · 01-20-2009, 10:06 PM

Looks great!!!
That is something I have never had I think my next motor will either be turbo or supercharge will see.

Man that looks sweet. But you are killing me when you say it has run but no video to see or hear it.

Oh baby!

Nothing beats the sweet sound of a blower whining and the RPMs coming up!

Congrats! Keep us updated!

eightbanger · 01-21-2009, 09:36 AM

Boy do I want one of those...Congrats 70, i'm high on the sound. I've got a bbc and I was wondering is this just a bolt on and drive deal? or are there mods and upgrades to be done to the engine before you can add a blower??

rambler · 01-21-2009, 10:32 AM

wow thats awesome! have fun with it

70stroker · 01-21-2009, 12:51 PM

thanks guys.

i motor is a stock bottom end. freshend up about 10,000 miles ago. The blower was bolt on itself. I did put a blower cam in that i didnt take pics while doing. the blower wasnt any hard than a intake swap in my opinion, except i didt have to chase a throttle spring down, cut and reweld my throttle rod, chase longer bolts for a longer fan spacer. Other than that simple. it was a to night process, took me about 5 hours, thats with about a 1 hour of settin timing, carb, and messing around with her.

the first trip is awaiting, we got it running about 9 oclock last night, i dont have my tailigts hooked up, i just got my bed painted and installed. today im gonna bolt it down. I just got down putting new floors in the cab, so i need to lay my carpet today and install the seat. And hang my diver side door, once i find were i can get new bushings for it. then ill get to drive her.

thanks for the complitments guys.
