Foxes with 6-71 blowers

So you are saying you would rather have that over a pushrod? :stick: :rlaugh:

Yeah, it was blue with a flame paint job. :rlaugh: It was on ebay with a starting bid of like $25000. I had a thread in BHR cause I was messing with the guy. Offered him a straight up trade with my Cobra. :rlaugh:

That fake blower was hilarious! He was so sure it was real. "But its hooked up to the throttle wire" :rlaugh:

I'd love to have a 5.4 in my car. My only beef with the 4.6 is that its a step down in displacement, and still huge under the hood. Though, those new Aluminators are pretty sexy!

I say if the car came with a carb it has every right to have a big ass roots blower popping through the hood, but some of them are pretty much overkill. Putting a 6-71 on top of a 302 is pretty stupid considering the block will split before you ever see the potential of the blower. The small engine pic i posted earlier is the Wieand 174, and it's comparable to putting a typical centrifugal on a 302. I believe they're capable of like 12psi max.

Yeah, if I had an olde carbd Fox that would be the blower I would want. Wonder ifthey are still avaliable?
*searches*

Coll! They are pretty cheap. :nice:
 
I wouldn't do a traditional roots blower because they are inefficient compared to today's standards. I'm still waiting for someone to fabricate and/or offer a lower intake manifold that allows a modern twin-screw to sit on top of a pushrod engine. :nice:
 
To me looking at these, all remind of some hick/redneck putting some junk together and couldn't fit it under the hood. I call it RICE FOR REDNECKS!!

Wish I could find those pics I had of this douche selling an old Mach1 that he insisted was blown but all it had was a 3-hole bird catcher screwed to the hood. :rlaugh:

Nononono. "Rice" is anything that is both gaudy AND nonfunctional. Having an engine too large to fit under the hood may be a tad gaudy, but it is completely functional. That car you just posted would likely hand most of our asses to us on a plate. It is definitely functional, and therefore, badass.
