Steve;
I guess he ships to the states unlike the guy selling the stainless 55-57 T Bird headers. Can you somehow post a picture of the intake? I think he was making some changes to the blow off valve location last time I saw one. I may consider one of these intakes in the future so I can put the hood sides back on my 37 coupe.

I will try to post pics . He now is using the pop-off made by BDS [Blower Drive Service California I believe] Only on passengers side.. I had a blower on a 351C years ago and it used there system and I had no problems with it.. also purchased the carb adapter plate.. it is drilled to mount a 4V on top of the 4-71 OR directly onto intake if you had a need to run that way.. The intake was $975 , adapter $125 and shipping was $125 + 1/2 of the Paypal $20 for $145 total S/H . He sent on 5-5-2014 I received in Pa. on Friday 5-16-2014 .. ..Im satisfied very much .. He also was a pleasure to deal with also Steve McD...

That's cleaner looking than the one he put on mine. Ditto on the quality. I found that the drive snout needed to be 9" long. I found a 7" and a 2" spacer. I can also provide information on the pulleys, I used 80mm to keep things a bit quieter. Are you mounting accessory pulleys? I have some pictures of the crank pulley adapter I had made. Will be home late tomorrow and could put them up on Wednesday. Chuck

Ill try to upload pics of the drive adapter I had one of my friends make for me.. Its a Powerbond steel damper with 4 xtra holes drilled on bolt circle of existing pair of bolt holes 6 total with allen bolts .made OD snug fit in damper . uses 2" pilot for pulley. Currently have pulley for 2" Gilmer belt but might end up with a pair of V-belts. ill make the pulleys.. Ihave very little room in front of engine. Tranny too big to move /engine back any more without lots of work.. Steve McD

Heres the intake & blower mockup . The blower project will be on side shelf til I get headers made.. The blower is low enough for hood clearance and im trying to keep headers inside louvered hood sides.. Its tight fit .. Short block parts were purchased with blower in mind.. I may assemble with hi comp heads & 3x2s for this summer .Change heads in fall and the rest is already done. Regards Steve McD

Thanks for the pictures Steve. Great job. It will be an awesome ride when finished. I also like your motor mounts better that the ones I made up.

This is the adapter I made for my setup. Used a two V Y-block belt setup.

NICE JOB ! I don't have enough room to use a pulley like yours . Mine will be about same diameter as yours but I have less than 2" to work with . I'm hoping 2 1/2" V belts will be enough to turn the 4-71.. Please keep us informed on your progress ..Regards Steve mcD

Is your engine stand holding the radiator near the stock position? I'm a bit concerned about clearance to the radiator but I know I can move it forward some. I'm running a 2V dampner to pick up the water pump, alternator and power steering. You mention the 2V blower drive pulleys. I've also looked at that for an option. Do you know the proper sizes for them to drive the 4-71? I have 2 6" diameter but I think it would take a smaller one at the crank. Thanks, Chuck
