Tim240z Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Try Holley, I think they bought out the blower line. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 18, 2001 Share Posted October 18, 2001 Yeah Weiand might have them (a holley subsidiary), I read just recently that Weiand used the last of the 6-71 cases that were stockpiled, they poured new ones I guess so the 6-71 parts will be available probably way after I'm a pile of dust. Good luck, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 You picked up a 6-71 intended for a diesel application, correct? Do you know some guys running those on gas motors? 6-71 diesel blowers are quite easily and cheaply available used but diesel units have far greater tolerances/gaps etc. Years ago an article was written and a few were converted. I polled a v. techie list and it was a resounding 'No' at that time. If you have info. otherwise I'd LOVE to hear about it....I know they're not the most efficient but they're still of strong interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 Only one comes to mind ( http://www.blowerdriveservice.com ) but I'm sure you have some places on the east coast as well. Look in the yellow pages, ask local rodders, parts places etc who might help out. I'm sure you'll scare up some info pretty quickly.

Guest Anonymous Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 funny that u mantion BDS, becasue i just caled them, but they where closed. gonna try agin tomorrow. i'm really hoping this works out. i don't really wanna buy a new blower if i don't have to. at that point it may be more fun to play with twin turbo, or 1 t3/t04e turbo with Nos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted October 30, 2001 Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hey All, take a look at E-bay, Search under Super-chargers or blowers(you'll have to wade through all the electrical motors though), I've seen all kinds of parts on there, If your'e in no hurry I'm sure the parts will come along .....
