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

Announcing the safe arrival of the Ybloke 4-71 Supercharged 292 Ford Yblock, it LIVES….

The blown Yblock engine project has brought together a Ford 292 engine, a Ybloke 4-71 Supercharger Intake Manifold, a reconditioned GM4-71 Supercharger, a custom 8” snout and drive coupler, a ‘The Blower Shop’ swing tensioner, overdriven 50:46 tooth Gilmer pulleys (8mm pitch) a 170 tooth Gilmer belt (1360mm), a custom harmonic balancer adapter coupling and a 4-71 to 4BBL adapter plate. This combination together with a 750cfm Edelbrock 4BBL carby, home made zoomies, re-curved truck distributor and a vintage JAP (gravity feed) fuel tank completes the package.

Check out the youtube video my son Lee shot last weekend with a GoPro after dressing up the blown y-block with a few more shiny bits...

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

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

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.Rono

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

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

Here is a couple of pics from a few months ago, when he first had them finished.

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
