Project is still on hold. It's not that I've abandoned the project. I'm waiting for pulleys for the front of the motor and some its internals...
Just to let everyone know. We have sort of put this project on hold due to the hunting/holiday season. We will be resuming work after the new...
Wow! Very nice and clean look popped with style.
We've been watching and following what 345 Desoto has done with his 291 Desoto blower motor. I must say it's has been very informative for us as...
I would have to agree with the guys here. I had to ask that question myself during the time I was building the custom intake manifold for our 291...
CoolHand, if you need more information about how to machine and bore deep pockets and holes, leave me a PM. I would be happy to help.
@ Coolhand: We played around with the idea of using double screws. There are several reasons why we chose this single screw design. We wanted...
@ Tudor: The rotor shafts will be indexed and splined to match the drive gears. On The driven side (left facing front), there will be a .25...
I believe there is a tech thread somewhere on here that covers the rebuild and conversion for a 6-71 blower for gas engines. Yes, you will most...
All the machine work for the new billet rotors have been completed. Yes, each set of rotors and shafts are lighter than the stock pieces. They are...
I'm currently working on the drive gear coupler. I wanted to cover the basic parts of the snout design. The snout I'm building for my blower...
Why not just keep it as a 327? With the right cam and heads, it can be a very mean motor with lots of RPM's.
I'm glad your enjoying the photos... And Yes! More photos:
@ Power58: I'm assuming that the bolt hole dimensions were of some help to you. I kind of figured that someone would get use out of that. @...
Okay. I have some questions about this hub or dampener. I was thinking about this thing after I made the last post. We got this part with the...
I was going to wait to post when I had the more pictures, but I had some information about the crank dampener that may prove useful to some. The...
@ CoolHand: I didn't take your questions about our project in a bad way at all... I've had the blower core for about four years I think. I was...
@Budd: The construction of the snout will be covered later on. The design will not differ much to most standard designs. The components will...
Well, we are moving forward with this project quite nicely. As with most prototyping and design work, it simply takes time. The front cover is...
Well, I'm back posting again... I just wanted to say that I'm currently back working on this blower project after doing some vacationing recently....
The next piece in this project I will be working on this week is the front cover. Then I need to figure out the carb plate for two Holley 4150's...
So... If your building a 291 blown roller motor, what kind of blower are you going to run on it? What manifold will you be using? Just curious.
One project at a time, people. One project at a time... :eek: We have to finish this project before we can move onto the next. I know everyone...
Well Rat, We've been discussing that one recently. Actually, we almost had a tall deck a little while back to work with. Falcon Bob, saw one for...
This is not exactly a small scale repo, but it's worth a look. I am custom building a blower and manifold for a 276/291 Desoto Hemi. I'm not sure...
Well, here it is! What everyone has been waiting to see... It's done with the exception of a couple of vacuum ports and the pop-off valve. The...
I had a chance this afternoon to snap several pictures of the adapter plate and the plenum. Obviously, the plenum is not ported for the runners as...
Sorry for the long delay on an update. I was out of town for a few days... The intake manifold is nearing completion. The plenum is now welded...
Won't have one intil next week. I want to finish the thing first. Soon... Very soon...
The welding of the plenum is almost complete! :)
