    Very nice! Those things are heavy, aren't they? :D

    The two other 6-71 blown Mavs on the site that I know of are John Chandler and Lonnie Schulz

    They are very heavy 65 pounds by themselves but add the snout and the carb's and what not it all leads to back problems.

    It all depends on what else you have done to the motor, as far as it's max potential output I'm not really sure. I still need to build a bottom end and I'm hoping for a 351 stroked out to a 408 i believe. but i have allot to pay for now so all in due time. I just really missed the power of my other supercharged car so I'm making another. :)

    Cool!

    Observation;

    The 6-71's usually call for a flat "crab" type cap to fit under the blower, but looks like the Hampton intake manifolds are taller than the traditional low profile units.

    Consequently, seems one can run a "regular" distributor under there. The draw back is I suppose ones vision is even more obstructed,...though at that height, whats an inch or two...lol!
