Also would have to have some way to convert it to belt drive. I don't doubt you saw what you saw.... but it's a little more involved than what you're describing. The 6-71 was the popular choice wit hot rodders, and some were actually an aftermarket copy of the GMC blower. One thing there's no debating ??? they're cool. 😎 Yes indeed, the GMC blower was never intended for the high RPM and pressure of a typical engine built for drag racing, but they do look cool. Freightrain has a 64 Ford with a blower motor, he might have pictures of it on here. 1 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

There are a few outfits that make them (Weiand is a quite popular example) specific for hotrods with the manifold, dives etc and they can be had, ready to bolt on and go for less than what it would take to get one from a 6-71 and make it work. Of course, the original hotrodders to use them started with a Jimmy blower and made it work. They do look cool and sound even cooler. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 That’s kind of funny because I prefer 64 but the 63 would certainly work I did have a 62 beach wagon back around 1990 ’m still kicking my ass that I sold it original owner 78,000 miles what was I thinking ??

I guess if I had to pick, 66-67 would be my favorite years for cars. I was saying a while back the '66 and '67 GTOs, Chevy IIs, and Chevelles are some of my favorite cars. A '67 GTO with a 400 4 speed would be the cat's ass. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob actually, not really. falcons do not bring the big bucks. a 289 4 speed 65 sprint in showroom condition will be lucky to see 10 grand, where a "15 foot" 6 cylinder automatic mustang will easily bring 15 grand.
