Look just watch ebay.com!!!


You can get an old GMC blower (4-71/6-71/8-71/10-71.....) for like 100 bucks or so, then buy a rebuild kit for it off ebay, for around another $65 or so (there is a guy that sells them all the time), and then pick up an intake manifold to mount what ever blower to your small block. Then find a new snout, idler pully, front/rear cover, and I think that is it. And you have pretty much a hole blower set up for less than $500 bucks. But you have to upgrade you fuel, and do alot of other crap to prepare your engine to support the blower.


THE ANSWER IS EBAY!!!!! You'll find every part you need for DIRT CHEAP if you are patient and watch for about a month. I'm putting an entire turbo stystem together on my car (a 7MGTE, which is a toyota supra engine). For less than $800 dollars so far. Were as if I were to buy all the parts new, it would probably cost me over 2,000 bucks!

I agree w/mrmustang. You know what they say, you get what you pay for. If you cut corners you may want to carry a broom and shovel with you to pick up the pieces, Or, run a real small pulley on the bottom so boost is low... just for show.

yes i agree to i'm not debating whether to go cheap or not. I am looking for about 450-500 horse and am willing to spend the money wisely but i don't want to get it together and find out that 200 rolls of duct tape to strap me into the seat because it has 800+ horsepower. I want it to be reliable and am willing to spend the money! Maybe i'm going in the wrong direction with this supercharger thing but I think it's key! Maybe there is no in between it's either for show or all go baby theres no inbetween? can somebody clear this stuff up for me please?

P.S. thank you for your help!

OK, well, Blowers take time, money, and most of all, time to have your car down! Blowers take the money due to the instant increase in compression. Consider supercharging, Scoops, and ram-air. I especially like the Ram air. If you can find a good source of outside air, it supplies its own pressure. Also, it's cheap. Just a thought.

i've read it actually thats what sparked my ambitions to build a blown sbc!

Uh, Me? I know! I'll take my litle 260 with 170K on the block, put a Mondello intake on it, edelbrock 350 heads and bolt up a blower! that should work-right?

I personally wont touch a blower or a bottle at this point. Know why? I cant afford it! If you cant afford something, or its consequences, dont get it, use it or break it!

you dont need a blower, turbo, or a bottle to push 450hp out of a 327. if you use the right pieces and parts you'll be there without even realizing it.l

If you are looking for 450 reliable horsepower, just swap in a LS1, and an intake, a throttle assembly, a hot computer, a set of headers, etc., and drive around on pump gas.

You could get a low mileage engine from a salvage yard for around $2000-$2500, and after adding the above (including a stand alone harness for the computer), you'll have spent less than you would trying to stress out a 327 for the same power (with a blower no less). 4th gen Camaro's will run high 11's without much work with this engines.

As for the 396, I'd keep it all motor also. Stick to the KISS principle.
