471 blower ?

[onefastgn]

I'm thinking of going with a blower set up from BDS and was just wondering If any one has seen one on a buick V-6.The set up is a stage 3 and is still going to use all my stuff but the Turbo and the F/M and some other odds and ends.It seems to be a pretty simple set up,.I'm sure it won't be as fast but It's going to look real bad ass.If you know any one who has done this please let me know I would like to get in touch with them...Thanks

Years ago I remember reading an article about Lil' John Buttera building a blown V6 street rod, a highboy. It was neat, small engine with blower sitting on top. First time I think it had been done. Just remember blowers make alot of heat and with the Buick V6 cooling system, there could be issues. Might be wise to tap the rear of the manifold to draw coolant from the back of the heads and plumb it to the front externally. You'll get more through the block faster (why don't we do this too....).

Dont forget to drill it for a boost gauge before you install it!

I knew a guy who finished his big block with a bolt on blower, forgot to drill it, and ran it without a boost gauge because he would have had to take it back off to drill it for a boost gauge....

I dont know much about it, but it sucks to be him
