I bought it, now what do I do with it?

I couldn't pass up this 6-71 blower with all new bearings, fresh turned rotors, top plate, snout, front and rear covers.
So I've started polishing on it, but although i have most of it, i still need alot to put it on my crate motor. manifold, pulleys, belt, and brackets to name a few. I know i also need a double key harmonic balancer. What else am i overlooking?

I have an 8.5:1 compression crate motor with less than 4K on it, so that should work.

I really dont know alot about these. I do already own (2) 4150 holleys i could put on it as well as bellcrank and linkage for sideways.

Are those Holleys built for a blower application?

I am addicted to the whine of a roots blower, all thanks to my dad. Here are a couple past vehicles that got me addicted, as well as our current project.

Turbos are nice but I'd rather be blown.

Mmmm... 6-71 sex-ay-ness.

Can't help you with specifics but I've always wanted one myself. Someday...

I've heard it as:

Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown.....

Kinda impartial to the injection part though.

Well, together they're a thing of beauty.

Yeah, that's an OLD version back from the days when mechanical injection was the latest and greatest thing.
Now that everybody has electronic injection, it's kind of a moot point. Hence the updated Turbo version.
