Who makes a Supercharger/Blower for a 304?

[rollbar]

Does anyone know?

[jeepsr4ever]

are you going to flex that 304? You still got that 360? check the performance parts area :mrgreen:

[rollbar]

Ya, I still have the 360 & a friend of mine along w/myself just purchased 5 Jeeps from a 1945 willy to a 84 CJ7 etc. so I have some work to do.

I think your right that the 360 might be better for the mod when the time comes due to the rpm's etc.

If you can get ahold of Tony Zamisch (619-423-0364) I'd be interested to learn what you find out.

Wow! Thanks for the tips.

[Elliott]

Reading through some things Tony has written it looks like he is pretty open to answering AMC questions via phone call. :t:

[jeepsr4ever]

Tony is alright in my book :t:

[Redemption]

just curious about the 6-71 blower. what sort of mods, if any, are necessary to bolt it onto the 401 engine? been looking for blowers to fit, not coming up with alot.

[Elliott]

That's what we are hoping that Tony can advise on. Most likely it's boiled down to what pulleys to use and spacing... be my guess.

From what I have learned, there are no current intake manifolds for AMC V8's for 671's. I talked with a guy who was selling a CJ on ebay with a 401 with a 671 and he told me that he had to have a custom intake manifold created for that application. Also as already stated, getting the pulleys mounted would take some work as well. Overall it is just a matter of sitting down at a table, with the parts in hand and measuring everything, then designing the system and taking the time to build it. Paying someone to make one for you is gonna cost some serious coinage! Shoot, if I had the money for a good mig welder and all the parts, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I forgot what intake manifold the guy used, but basically they chopped it up and remade the whole thing. Was pretty cool looking! Wish I had pictures or his email address, I'll see if I can dig it up!

I was just reading that the 401 has the same cylinder centers as a Mopar big block and that Mopar manifolds can be modified to fit the AMC heads. Maybe that's a start in the right direction.

[Elliott]

Correction:

"AMC V-8 bore centers are the same as B block Mopar BB engines and the Mopar aluminum heads can be modified to work during mfg and require a custom intake."

So maybe that's of no help. :roll:

Scroll down to the middle or bottom and you should find what your looking for.

Dave Hoelcher wrote about it:

I have seen people use Torkers. I have also heard that BDS has a
"kit". Not sure if they also offer a manifold or not.
If I was doing it, I would try to use a tunnel ram for an intake if a "real" one wasn't available. I do remember seeing that there is another
supplier that provides a complete kit but don't remember their name
at the moment.
Hahhh...I found it...(EGGSpensive)

I was out in Buena Vista, CO at the Tomken Machine shop a couple of years ago, they had a prototype manifold that put a B&M blower on an AMC V-8. I believe they modified an Edlebrock Performer. They said if it worked, they were going to market a kit, but I've never seen it in their catalog. You might give them a call. 719-395-2526
