No normal person would think that ruining a big block powered truck by bolting on a blower, but we’re not normal. There is something cool about the torque and snappy power that comes from a big block with a supercharger on it and one of these might even fit under the hood. And if it didn’t would it be a bad thing? Would there be a problem with a scoop just poking through the hood of a square body dually? We’re not sure there would be. What do you think?

Like new, Just had re-polished……. Fits Big Block Chevy…..
Weiand’s Pro-Street Superchargers represent a significant leap in technology for obtaining substantial performance gains while maintaining drive ability and reliability. The 177 Supercharger is very similar to the 6-71 series in style but the 177 is a compact version, allowing you to fit this supercharger under most medium sized cowl induction hoods on trucks and muscle cars. The 177 Series superchargers are engineered to produce 25-40% more power while maintaining excellent drivability!
All Weiand superchargers feature 100% NEW CNC machined parts (no remanufactured components). New thick-wall cases and rotors eliminate high-RPM flex and provide maximum reliability. All superchargers are 100% Boost Tested to help you squeeze the maximum power and efficiency out of your supercharger!
Features & Benefits
Gain 100-175+ Horsepower (depending on application)
Substantial increase in torque, great for heavy vehicles and towing applications
Instant power every time you hit the gas! No Lag!
For Small Block applications, the drive ratio with the included pulley set is 1.71:1
For Big Block applications, the drive ratio with the included pulley set is 1.95:1
Installation Notes:
Superchargers are perfectly suited for stock/modified engines with 7.5:1 to 9:1 compression ratios.
Designed for stamped steel v-belt accessories. Use of billet pulleys may require custom machine work and/or spacers.
Superchargers mount to manifold using 6 bolts along perimeter of blower.
where’s the price???
Yeah baby!
Go for it.
thats what I was thinking when asked before about what I would put in such a project if not a diesel… only I was eventually leaning towards a 498 (8.1) with such a blower for diesel type torque without having to run diesel….
found my previous post…”If it were up to me, this would be a good choice: https://blueprintengines.com/collect…gm-496-stroker
either that or start with their shortblock and build it using parts spec’d by you for the rpm range you’re looking for…maybe add a 174 blower? http://www.jegs.com/i/Weiand/925/7741-1/10002/-1“
Ask Posie about setting the paint on the quarter panel of his Suburban on fire from red hot exhaust and lowering it [ not enough air under the truck ] after he installed a blower.
a friend of mine put a Vortec on a V10 Ford,towed with it for years,sold the truck with 110k on it and 90k on the blower passed everything but a gas station.
drill the manifold for port EFI – room and less heat soak in the gas. Those blowers work fine, but they’re a simple response to a complex problem. How? increase the compression with forged pistons and you’ll get the same hp increase without the attendant complexity. This is for people who don’t want or can’t rebuild a motor. You won’t be satisfied and the 10th time you throw a belt when you touch 4000 rpm – and you’ll see my point. Hoping you take my word for it….
and your method will work on every engine that isn’t a chevy ???? how about PROVE IT.
Blown big block.
Let’s repeat that shall we, Blown Big Block.
Utter those 3 words to anyone with half an idea about cars and they’ll think you are THE man.
Just don’t tell them it’s a baby blower on a truck engine.
Didn’t Al Hoffman have a BDS 6-71 on his?
