A member on another site that I mod for recently posted up his project. And I just had to share it with you guys, it's a pretty cool concept.

The car is a 1946 english vauxhall, and although it is in the begining stages. Just check out what he's done for a powerplant. Thats right, a BDS 471 Blower atop a Chev 4.3L V6.

I think it's killer work, and I am highly anticipating the outcome of such a build. My hat's off to him!

No idea, he says he just wants a healthy street motor. Not for drags or racing.

What is the problem with that motor? cracked valve? spun bearing?

Here's one that was for sale locally a while ago - I couldn't get the details on the blower setup from him though.

its a rod.... main knock only happens on start-up. the fact it happens at rev-up it must be a rod.
