Use a 671 or 871 on a BBC?
I am going to install a LS6 454 in a 1930 Model A and I have been toying with the idea of using a supercharger. I have had a few people say running a 671 on a BBC will create heat problems. Those same people claim IF I use a 871 blower I will not have heating issues. I clearly realize I WILL NEVER get this to hook up due to being so light nor will I ever use all the power. I just think polished superchargers look killer on early Fords. If running a 871 on my BBC what size of manifold referenced carbs should I be running? I am aware I need to be running 8 to 1 compression forged pistons. I would like to run a hydraulic roller cam with the blower, but do not have a clue as to what size or brand to go with. My motor is currently set up to run in the 2500 to 6500 power range. I am sure some of you knowledgeable guys could give me a HEADS UP as to which way to go. Thanks!
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
