    have a few questions please.
    looking for set up for a sbc this came up and its for BBC. Can intake be switched out and will drive work?
    or is there something about using a different water pump.
    sure could use some advice on converting.

    you can build a big block to put under it....

    Might see if you can find info about the small block version, but it's pretty common to have a different length snout also, which makes it a rather involved conversion. If you don't have or want a big block, I suggest you keep looking for a small block blower setup.

    That B&M blower is kinda obsolete also, nothing really interchanges with a regular Detroit style 6-71 and parts are scarce for them.
    Your best bet is to pass and find a regular 6-71 or 8-71

    Thanks for mentioning this, I had though the same thing, but didn't take the trouble to type it out.
