What length drive snout did you use? It looks shorter than mine but I'm running a two belt balancer for accessories. I used a 7" with a 2" extension. Not sure yet if I'll have clearance problems with the radiator. Did you take any pictures of the crank adapter you came up with? Chuck

This is really something else....

Hello all
After many months of frustrating efforts to get on to this forum, finally with the help of my daughters IPad it seems contact has been reestablished....
First, I will make a commitment to add to this forum the recent activities, images and drive and component specifications. I will do my best, as my skill with the iPad still has some distance to go before I can do all I intend.
Next
The big news is that I have been bringing together all the components to build a blown 292 Yblock using the ybloke blower intake...
And
I am pleased to announce the safe arrival of the Ybloke 4-71 supercharged 292 Yblock...

Further it only tookm an hour and a half to convert a naturally aspirated 4BBL 292 Yblock to a supercharged 4BBL 292 Yblock.
Once converted the 4-71 supercharged yblock started and idled without fuss...

My son Lee came around on the weekend and shot a GoPro video which turned out great. The video is on YouTube...
Search YouTube for : Ford Y block 4/71 supercharged ybloke blower intake ( I don' t know how to paste a long with an iPad )

Or
Go to my Facebook page (you do not have to be a member) Facebook.com/ybloke
There are about 60 images to get your imagination ignited....
And there is a video of the 292 Running naturally aspirated with the ybloke supercharger manifold with 4-71 to 4BBL adapter plate....
And there is a link to the YouTube video of the same engine NOW SUPERCHARGED, the video is 4 minutes of heavenly yblock tunes played through zoomies... There is just nothing else like it to be found on YouTube or anywhere else.. Enjoy, and if you feel the video and/or Facebook page rates it... Please leave a like...

I'm back
Regards, Lindsay

I meet Lindsay today at the Ballarat swap meet.His manifold looks high quality and is working on a complete Mercury blower kit, which includes optional pulleys and snout, etc.
It was good to meet a guy from the forum, he seemed to be a nice bloke.

Lindsay Shoemark has just finished his blower intakes with a modified pop off valve.






He also makes the Mercury valve covers.

Nice job, and apparently well designed. Looks like a quality piece.

When one runs a roots style (GM or other) blower, unlike a centrifugal huffer ( EG turbo or McCullough) you have a positive displacement device ( think a rotating piston). As there is a significant volume of air/fuel mixture below the blower, a backfire event can develop enough pressure under the blower to launch the whole shebang through the hood or even through the dyno room roof towards the moon ( I saw the afterwards result once; thankfully not on my shift).

The lakes guys and drag racers discovered this just after WW2, and by the mid 50's blow-off plates or valves were required by most all sanctioning bodies. The design using springs is likely best for street usage as it is self-resetting and most often you just restart and can keep on running. Plates by design must be replaced, bummer for a road machine. The fire out of the plate ends quickly, likely no more than one second unless something else inside broke, and of course ends when the valve reseats. It does get your attention when it occurs. I suggest carrying a spare set of underwear.
