From those of you that think it's not gonna work, it does , my dad and I were doing this for people who couldn't afford to build a new blower and we sent them to the semi junkyard to get a 6v71 and we would do exactly what this man is doing and put on their cars and they were fine, my dad built many race car engines and this works and will save you thousands of dollars

I just recently got a 6v71, 8v71, and 8v92 for $100 each, been researching constantly to figure out how to convert em without bleeding money. I've read about the process countless times but your video did a much much better job of explaining it than any of the write ups I've seen, thank you

I have like 4 of these blowers in are storage unit. Thought about doing this a few times. We work on Detroit Diesels all the time and can actually rebuild the blowers in house. We never did a conversion before though. The 6-71 blowers are more common. The 8V71 blowers are most for big block applications.

Plus also you have to remember that every blower guy has the same blowers as the next blower guy .... that's until you pull into the car show with a 6v71 and now your the unique one that stands out and the one who will have a conversation starter

Typical laziness of the world today not only in America but also abroad. Those who are the ones willing to do it themselves and get it done correctly and then enjoy their work are much better people than the other ones. Met and know both and those who brag and pay someone else to do it are the ones that you can't trust. If they really will lie about that they will lie about anything else.

OK, so how much did you end up having into the setup by the time you were done? P.S. Where are you finding/sourcing the 6v-71's anyway? P.P.S. I see no more videos were made on this, so it looks like it didn't happen!! Oh well, back to spending $8000 on a small blower setup!!

It works. You just have to be able to do stuff and source parts yourself. Originally this is where the blowers came from. It’s just when it became more common they started building blowers specifically for use on cars. A “proper” blower with the Teflon seals and such would make a little more power and be a little more efficient. But, if you’re not racing and really need that bit of extra power it isn’t particularly worth the extra price.

After all that talk about saving money and the “built not bought” mantra, you got hosed on a carb adapter plate. You didn’t exactly need much fabrication talent to figure out how to get a pair of carb’s bolted to the top of a V blower.

That looks like a 4-71, a real 6-71 blower is about 15 in long. A 4-71 in 10, a 8-71 is over 20 in long.

The 6v71 blowers are more smaller then the 6-71. It needs to be smaller for it to fit in the top vs the side on a inline. Pretty sure they move the same amount of air though.

The 6v71 case has four bolts holding it to the adapter plate and the 8v71 has 6 bolts . You'd have to get the conversion adapter plate with 6 bolts in order for it to work with an 8V 71 case
