Hey guys, I'm looking for a blower manifold for ford 460. preferably polished and will work with an 8 71 blower
Cash in hand thanks
Kinda hard to come by on the used market.
I have a couple and hold them near and dear to my heart (in other words, I'd sooner sell you a kid)

............New ones can be had from BDS for right around $650, un-polished (Why anyone would want a polished one on a boat is way beyond me...........Nick.............) and make SURE you get one for regular heads, not a Boss head version........... But at any rate, not a bad price considering most I've seen are welded up hack jobs that used to be a tunnel ram..........
Do it right the first time, I always say.
Now, wanna reverse drive the blower? he-he.....there's ANOTHER thing to consider on a jet boat. Not gonna get into that.........
Anything that fits a 6-71 will fit an 8-71. That is not an issue. Fitting a 10-71 or a 12-71 will probably be another matter. The BDS manifold has enough material up it's rear to allow machining to open it up to even a 14-71. But anything that'll accept a 6-71 is fine with the 8-71 as well these days. Go bigger, break out the Bridgeport (In my case a Kira)
