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)  :sly:............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)

I'll second that blue thunder from Jim. If I was going to put a blower on mine I would have already purchased it from him.

$300 is a pretty good price. I think 6-71 and 8-71 use same intake.
