Here in Indianapolis we have a blower guy that specializes in blown engines especially the flathead ford. The company is right down the street from my shop and is called Uncommon Engineering . Contact them thru their web site at uncommonengineering.com

They make e very piece including a complete dyno tested blown engine.

Help us understand why you'd want to do all this just for looks? You'll still need to make it stout and make additional steps that you wouldn't have to on a non-blown motor.

I'd say if you're going to spend the cash, might as well make it go as well.
 
Yo Tim, any chance you could take a pic of your friend's blown 60 and post it? I have a 60 for a future project and would like to explore that option. Or, if your friend is in the witness protection program, PM me. Thanks, Lou
 
A 6/71 looks real cool on a Flathead. Maybe a little big but you can under drive it. I have this setup in my A roadster. No problems.
 
Go to h&h flathead web site thet sell blowers...nothing looks better than a scot Ithaca blower on a flathead. They repop them. 2nd choice would be a 471 with a cragar v belt drive. They are also being reproduced. Both are$$$$$$$$
 
A 6-71 will get people to look for sure when it's parked. But it will suck lots of hp to drive it . Sixe the blower to the motor unless you are racing stick to a practical size blower. 3 or 4-71. About a 172cu in blower.is a good street size.
 
OK, the right (unobtainable ) blower for a flathead is this 37 McCLULLOCH :D:D:D Gary:)

John:
1st thing HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you & Barb.

Is it me or is that blower just for show ?
I see 2 pullys with out belts on them.
But Boy the eye Candy.
My Christmas list just grew by just 1 more thing.
 
Bill, I don't know much about the blower (Elmquist?) but it drove into a car show in Florida. And a Happy Turkey day to you folks.
