Looking for a blower intake manifold for the Buick 455. They work with 671 and 871. I really would rather buy one than fabricate it. Thanks. Rich..
I have a dual four intake that is the same as my blower intake not sure how much work it is to plate it but took me long time years to find mine now getting other parts rounded up
Not sure Ben.. Maybe another motor. Although bottom end would be strong. Minus block. Compression with that set up might be an issue. I herd that. Do you have pics you can send?
Richard I put up a few pics here. http://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/supercharger-for-buick-455.375088/ I cleared my VM also
h/b blowers are a good price. add up the parts each and you will spend way more and then there is the time. price out each part. a blower, intake, 3 pullies, belt, gasket and misc adds up quick. all you need is a good engine. blower kits do not have rear tire coupons. john has clean blower engines, mine not so much. we could be the 'odd couple'.
Thanks. Larry. Been there and about every where else. I like Hampton. Look and read to be a quality product.. That's probably what might happen.
That's Correct. The Hampton Kit has everything I have a old Blower avaluable. I needed a intake for mock up with the serpentine belt drive set up I use. Ide rather not go back to V belts. But that's might be easier. I should be able to use alt. Ps. AC. But ill probably have to make new brackets and move it back. They do make a flatter serpentine crank accessory pulley. Their flatter almost like the V belt pulleys for blowers, which everything seems to get pushed back so the blower belt has room. Plus ide bet its hard on the crank snout if the drive system is set up way out front. So before I do anything I would buy a few used parts for mock up. Although its is possible to build a system with used and new parts. You just have to be looking in the right place at the right time. I have looked a lot and been reading. Those cats on the blower sites will buy just about every used part. Quick.
My intake is not a home made one it was welded on by a blower company my 8-71 has a 3" belt only v belt will be for alt water pump no power steering on car manual box I just was busy and no garage time this weekend and it was cold in the mid 20s n snow
Both are offenhauser one is the 360 not sure the work to make one I know to buy one or have Hampton build one is up around 2k
