SUPER CHARGED Thread - 6-71 blowers - lets see 'em

couple old pictures here,
as cast on 394 in mock up,
and polished on 371

as cast is tough looking but I dig the shiny stuff too

 

It's all cool!!

 

2, 6-71's in the basement waiting for the weather to turn shitty! My coupe and Petes T will both be sportin huffers by next summer!

 

wasnt there a chuck norris movie where his ramcharger got buried and he flipped the "blower switch"

 

This was on a OT truck at a local car show today,

 

Sorry for the crappy pics but all I have right now is the cell camera. Heres the 6-71 thats going on my Austin gasser that is all anodized.

 

8-71 on the gasser

 

That is an IH 345, bit of a different motor to stick a 6-71 on. Here is a dyno video of that same motor.

This is a really cool thread.

Would anyone happen to have any color pics of 60's vintage blower setups they could add? Been looking for some inspiration for my Galaxie's engine, have seen many black and white pics of old blown engines, not many in color.

Also, 2 other 'finish' questions- would anyone know if hard anodizing was around back then, and, can that goldish type finish (Dow 7??) be applied successfully to aluminum?

Debating the anodizing/Dow 7 look for the blower for my engine. Really would like it to have a more competition look than a polished show car look.

Thanks for your time.

 

That blown Binder is one bad Mo-fo. Nice manifold too. What kind of power did it make?

-Abone.

 

Here my 55 Chevy....

 

Can I get a shot with the hood closed? Would like to see how far the carbs stick out.
Thanks

 

Here ya go......

 

Did you put any additional filters into those spark arrestors? Very cool build!

 

Naa, no filters, just the stock metal mesh... Thank you, Mike

 

Injector are at Hilborn being refurbished

 

1960 Lark VIII with a Studebaker 289 with a Novi 2000 blower.

 

Heres mine. Still a long way to go. Im looking for a belt guard and header kit.

 

What are you guys running on the BBCs?? I heard that you can get away with a early "big volume" 6-71 on a BBC over 500 cubes if you just want to drive it on the street. Opinions?

 

Anyone running mechanical fans on their blower for cooling?

 

Yes, I have a mechanical fan. It's even pretty small at 12" Diamter and works. It's on the water pump though and not on the blower

 

my 60 Belair

 

More more!!

 

Sorry, mines not all clean & pretty & shiney.

 

dang! It's getting dirty....that's good to see. That sure is a neat car.
