Seriously, I hate to see anyone waste money on something like that. You have a nice manifold now find a good supercharger to go with it and save yourself a lot of grief.

P.S. I'd be curious what the seller has to say......did he actually tell you it fit that manifold?

no, in the description on the blower, he said that it was a 671, and the reason he was selling it was because he stroked his boat motor instead of using this thing.. lol, now i know the truth as to why he sold it!

That is indeed a 6-71 blower, however it is from a 6V-71 not an inline 6-71 like is usually used. Some years ago ther was a company that made a manifold for that style. Like has been said, it will cost more to make that one work than it's worth. It will never fit that manifold.

That's Detroit's way of saying V-6. Had an 8v-92 2-stroke 475 hp in a coach that was a monster, but it liked to consume oil a bit. Last DD I had was a Series 60; best engine DD ever designed for the road, IMHO.
