Hey everyone. Just got back from haiti and Im looking for a blower kit for my ford. I have a ford 460 bored 80 over and stroked to a 533. I would like a 6-71 or 8-71. Thank you

BBF (429 /460) blower stuff is really hard to find. You almost have to go new, unless your really lucky.
For new stuff check out The Blower Shop ( http://www.theblowershop.com/homepage ), pick a kit and add $600 to "upgrade" it to work on a BBF. :screwy: $4500 on Racing junk (http://www.racingjunk.com/category/1275/Blowers/post/1861294/BIG-BLOCK-FORD-429-460-THE-BLOWER-SHOP-871.html )
Or Dyers ( http://www.dyersblowers.com/1694.html ), there BBF kit is $3800 (polished / 871)

Thank you. I'll def look into it.

It wasn't so much the cost of the blower equipment for the Ford that worried me when I looked into doing it, it was the ignition issues. An offset or tiny dizzy/mag or crank trigger system seems to be required to make it work.
If I did it, I was going to do two of them in the Shrimpin Boat project, so double that cost.
Let us know what you find out.

Or get a longer belt and stick a big intercooler under the blower. ;)
