oh it will get air . i think the PSI screw blowers are ugly were 1471 or 1671 are better looking its allbout power . as for parts .its very hard to tell who made the parts many times. with what base engine they used for bore spacing bearing size .i knew it was a hemi head as some did use the bore spacing of a 426and bbc are very close and many Big blower builds with the bbc engines will sometimes use the mopar rod bore size and wrist pin . custom cranks and pistons are the norm. any one with a big cnc machine and program can make just about any thing. when i was at the PRI show they had some cnc machines there it was one making a billet diesel head.i have been at Dart were they had billet blocks laying around like they were just 350s.a cast block in alumiun is around 6000. some of the billet blocks are past 8000

Yes sir. The billet stuff seems the way the big guys are going. I don't know if you guys have seen the diesel funny car John Robinson owns and Power Service sponsors, but his new engine has a billet aluminum block from Scheid diesel service. He did away with his funny car body and went with a half coupe alter body now. I saw on Power Service's site that they will be switching out from the funny car body and alter body from time to time. A lot of the mod diesel pullers are going with these aluminum blocks too. I know the billet steel blocks LSM was making were $12,000-$15,000 depending on options. The aluminum ones are $15,000 on Scheid's site.
