    damn i like that thing. what are his plans, going to do the upgrades to current tech so he can run it or just leave it as is. i might know of a blower intake for it too what year/size is that hemi, i got a buddy that pulled a blower motor out of a boat not that long ago he's going to run the hemi in his parts chaser truck and run the blower on a different engine so he might be willing to sell the intake.

    You intrested in a 4-71 blower it straight off a detroit. The shaft will need to be cut and upper and lower plates made. One of the road devils picked up about a year ago and last i talked to him about it he still had it...

    well sorry to say he's already sold the intake, but i'll keep an eye out for you if anything pops up around here.
     
  14. I love it!

    Keep us posted on the restoration...

    I'm thinking SOMEBODY should be taking a shit load of pics as things progress...

    Patiently waiting to hear more,
    Sam.
