6 71 blowers are fun, I built a 396 with a Weiend 6 71 for my 62 impala I had before my oldest son talked me out of the car. No he didn't get the motor I traded the short block for a ton of 348 stuff and sold the world products heads and blower , kicking myself in the ass now but my son loves the 62

I would go for a '32 chevy coupe for a blown W

I just talked to Don Hampton and ordered a blower intake from him for my 380. Hell of a nice guy. Six to eight weeks for the intake.

Are there any photos of the intakes he has made?

 

[MRHP]

I couldn't find any, but when I get mine, you can bet your ass I will post a couple pictures of it.

Does he cut/weld an exisiting intake such as the offy dual quad, or does he make the whole thing from sheet?

 

[MRHP]

Pretty sure it is a modified Offy.

I called on a 56 chev yesterday!

 

[MRHP]

Block is stripped and will be dropped at machine shop tomorrow. If everything checks out, Pistons will be ordered.

 

[Don Jacks]

What piston did you decide on?

 

[MRHP]

I am gonna bite the bullet for some Ross. Will be shooting for 8.5 compression. I could probably do a little more, but I want an easy tuning, street motor. Hope I can get 500 horse out of this little 380 on 6 pounds of boost. Have not heard back yet on the 56.

 

[Don Jacks]

It'll take big valves,port work,and the right cam.It's doable.

 

[MRHP]

2.250 intake, 1.88 for exhaust. Port work for sure. Camshaft is still up for debate.

 

[yellow wagon]

500? Shit go big! 9:1, lots of port work, big cam, big valves. Sucker will rip!

 

[MRHP]

Looks like I will be getting some 333 heads after all. The 702 heads have real small ports and hardened seats. Will a 2.250 1.88 fit in a 333? Will they even clear the bore of a 348? I guess we will find out soon enough.

Jason, I would love to follow your recipe for a motor. I just don't want something that won't run on pump gas, or is a tuning nightmare. Boost has me a little on edge as I have never built or tuned a boosted motor.
