I redrilled a scruby pulley and it is slightly smaller than the stock damper pulley. Don’t yet know how much boost I’m making as I don’t have a gauge installed yet.

What did you use for the 2V belt pullies? I'm using accessory pullies from a scrub but need a smaller diameter for the upper to turn the blower faster. Right now I'm at 6.2 and 6.0, barley pushing air.



Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Nice!!

That’s just gorgeous, nicely done. The blower speaks for itself, but I really like the rams horns too. To my mind, the neatest cast manifolds anyone made.

How about a couple steps back and a picture of the whole car?

Looks great...but power steering on a Model A?  You're probably losing 8 horsepower spinning that pump!  LOL.  

I wish I could tell you how to post a video but your build is looking mighty good. The ram horn manifolds look great and so does your choice of power steering pump. That being said, even if you could post a 22 second video, unfortunately it would sound not so good digitized through our cell phones and computers.

Tried to post a video of it running was not able to. It sounds great and I am so excited. Wish you could hear it. Decided not to run the headers, ceramic coated a set of rams horns to turbo mufflers. All great with the Grant Flame thrower, polished 471! If someone can tell me what to do to post a 22 second video I’ll gladly share it.

As JDC says, you best get some direction from someone liket Ted Eaton or "link" from this site to John Mummert's ford-y-block site, rather than trying to force feed SBC parts into your project.. Mummert has an extensive parts list covering just about everything related to our Ford Y-Blocks..
P.S.- and your very likely going to get bad advice related to the Y-Block from someone in the Bow Tie crowd...
