    Anyone have a pic of what parts are needed to run a 371 Blower on a late Ford flat head? Preferably with grooved pully's. Thanks!

    Probably a home made base attached to an intake made for carbs, and a really long snout out front. Custom pulleys for all?

    Here is what I have done for the next project: made a blower manifold from an ordinary single manifold. Lots of welding but costs almost nothing. Will make a snout and rear bearing plate when time allows.

    Are you going to prune it and flip it over?

    Intake No big deal to make ,

    Thought & different on Snout
    Needs to be 10-12 inch long if mounted direct to blower ,, me a 1 inch or 2 inch belt ,
    But I think out side box , I think I would make a Two ,,
    Crank to Pulley belt
    Then a Axle , back side a pulley
    Then a short belt from axle pulley
    Cross to pulley on blower
    Front .
    So 2 belt
    4 pulleys
    Or mount case backwards
    Same set up with belts

    I don't know. This one was upside down, notice the casting number, which is usually on the bottom, is now on the top.
