Flathead 471 Blower manifold i am making
[A new Flathead V8 471 blower intake manifold i am making. It's off next week to be blasted / heat treated and then to the machinist to have the stud holes drilled and the top and bottom machined flat.

Re: Flathead 471 Blower manifold i am making
Won't have to prune on that one. Will it have a pop off valve?

Re: Flathead 471 Blower manifold i am making
ON an 8BA, it would be nice to have access to the pan breather. Also, consider other blower such as the 3.8 Buick Eaton. These are inexpensive #5 blowers for near stock engines that can offer good power and economy for less costs. I'd like to put one on a stock 239 and see what it does.

Re: Flathead 471 Blower manifold i am making
The GM and SCoT blowers do stand way up there but some folks love stuff up where they can see it working. Those Eaton blowers need some custom carb mounting or maybe fuel injection. I've never seen one with any thing other than the rear air entry.

That's correct both Flatoz and Rat Bastard run their 471 blowers on the Mitchell manifold from New Zealand with blower drives from my little shop. This new intake looks extremely similar to the Mitchell. |
