Thread: 6-71 supercharged 302 help needed

Tweet

Well, as I said, I've never built a supercharged engine before and all your input is helpful. I can't afford an aftermarket block at this time, so I guess I'm stuck with the FoMoCo block. As far as the 6-71 being too big for any small block, with the proper cam, heads, carburetion and under-drive pulleys, wouldn't I be able to get a streetable engine out of it?
I may have been too hasty throwing out boost #'s. Sorry, still learning about boost.

yes you can under drive it alot but this would have to do with how sealed up the blower is and the cr and cam .i am building a sbc383 with a 871 littlefield on it just going to under drive it and it as a good bottom end with a bigger cc intake port
