    Bought an 871 Blower for the shoebox today...

    Decided to go all out with the Shoebox and the body's about to come off the frame. Not only will it see 1000hp with the new motor, but the rear is now getting a 4-bar diff setup with a new Currie 9" locker shortened to fit the car with 13.5" slicks. Here's some of the other goodies going into...

    \ Here's a few recent ones before I started tearing her down for the rebuild. The engine shown is the crate motor that I just pulled out of it to make room for the BB build.

    Figured I'd post an update for you gearheads out there. I bought the blower last week and it's an 871 Weiand. Since then I've been back and forth on the build...until today that is. Pulled the pin on a 565ci build and the motor is being built by none other that Doug Herbert (Top Fuel F/C Driver)...

    Bought an 871 Blower for the shoebox today...

    The 421 naturally aspirated builds 600hp. With the blower underdriven 10% and a smaller cam, this thing should make in the 750-800hp range when all done and said. I guess there's always more on the table if I need it. Gonna run about 8lbs boost on 8:5.1 compression. It all equals FUN!

    Bought an 871 Blower for the shoebox today...

    No worries SS. It will be fun for sure, but I better add some power steering cause it's gonna be all over the road and should fry them little tires at any speed. Not gonna touch the back half until next year. Then it will get some wide rubber and suspension work.

    Bought an 871 Blower for the shoebox today...

    Always wanted a blower, and today I said it's time as I stepped up and bought a Weiand 871 blower for my 55 chevy. I'll be building a 421 small block over the winter and the blower will be mounted up and tuned before spring rolls around. Guess I better be stocking up on some rubber as the fun...

    yamaha PW50

    I bought a brand new PW50 for 750.00 tax in when Yamaha had them on sale last year. It only has a few hours on it but my 5 year old loves it. I'll likely get close to the purchase price when I sell it in another year as well. Great little bikes to learn on before they step up to a clutched bike...
