It may be under driven because we have no idea of the compression ratio of the motor. Heck if you found a motor home 440 in good shape with low milage it would be a great candidate because they frequently were at a compression ratio of 8 to 1.

BTW, it's gone.

Ad states the car has "never been drag raced or abused". 

so what is the purpose of having a blower if your not going to drag it?   Just to be pretty at car shows? 

cool looking ride for sure!

It also states Dyer 8-71 which unless they changed they use to take a standard 4bbl manifold & bolt an adapter on top then mount the blower to the adapter.....   Yes you will build some boost but the restriction means you also build heat...... A serious blower install has a manifold with a big open plenum that the blower bolts directly to.....

Oh, then theres that big old pulley on the blower & by looking it seems pretty clear the crank pulley is smaller.... So the blower is under driven...

But hey thats allot of bling on top of your engine....

Ha! Well that settles that. Probably as close as I'll get to truly being Blown Motor.  :rofl:
