I know this has probably been covered before but I couldn't find anything. I tried asking in the power adder dept but no help. Basically I have a longblock 347 built by Coast High Performance for blower use. Low compression, forged everything and a blower grind roller valvetrain - I'll spare you the details. I'm looking to run a Blower Shop 671 with a 8.5" snout and am 90% assembled except for the crank pulley. I don't want to run a blower hub and have had no luck finding an adapter to go from (28oz imbalance) Ford balancer 3-4 bolt pattern to the universal blower 6-bolt pulley. Does anyone know how to make this work (with 2 v-grooves)? My aftermarket search has come up with nothing. Any info on this would be great!

why are you against the hub? Not enough clearance to the radiator?

Might want to send blown65 a pm, he's the only guy I can remember on here that had a big roots blower on an early model.

I ran a steel crank hub. Blowerdriveservice is who supplied my kit.

Very easy to have it balanced to whatever, mine was a custom balance.

You can have BDS custom make whatever you need, I was going to do a fluiddampner but he actually talked me outta it after I found out all the reasons for NOT using one. You might wanna rethink your position on the matter and give Craig a call at BDS.

I appreciate you guys helping me out. It's a sportsman block with a DSS main girdle. When I spoke with BDS before the guy couldn't even tell me if it (the small ford hub)was 50oz or 28oz - must've gotten the wrong guy. I was then told that I would need to disassemble the longblock and have the crank balanced with the flex plate and hub - so I figured a balancer with adapter would be easier. I'll check out BDS again and ask for Craig. Also, blown65, what distributer and cap did you go with. I have about 5.75" of clearance between the block and the blower? If not MSD, is it compatable?

Mallory is the only distributor that I know of that fits. You need the crab style cap one.

I know our machine shop can match balance balancers, so you can always get the balancer from them and have it changed, but as I recall the one they sell is a 28oz balance. Those kits are made for the older stangs and they all had the 28oz balance if I recal correctly.

You will get an accurate answer from Craig, its sometimes hard to get in touch with him though but I think its the right way to do it.


Good luck.
