More like where CAN'T you find a blower!!!!! Hope you don't expect to buy a blower, centrifugal or roots type or whatever and expect to bolt it to your engine and expect the engine to hold up for very long...........................

What motor is in the car? Do you know whats done to it? It would be a good idea to know what kind of pistons you have at the very least - cast pistons and boost are two things that just dont go well together.

What about a small 4-71 or paxton belt driven type? Would you be able to run one of these on a stock motor? The stock compression ratio is certainly low enough.

I have a like new Polished BDS 6-71 blower and Polished sbc blower intake manifold complete( pulleys, brackets, belt, all parts), you just need carbs for your vette. I'll post pictures later today. I was going blower set-up then changed to road/racing set-up. Ready to bolt on your motor, under driven with 6-8 lb boost. $2700

If interested call me at 630-772-0554
