datzenmike Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Was in 'the yard' today and saw this: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/wyard002.jpg[/img]"] If this is a super charger how friggin' big is the motor??? The thing on top is a GM alternator for scale. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 looks like a 'charger off a bus. i have seen some of the older GM busses with the deisel pushers with those. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 This isn't a 6-71 blower. This is gigantic maybe 2 1/2 feet long, bigger than my L20B. Quote Link to comment

Jester Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 That would make a killer mail box. Block off the top and throw a couple junk Holleys on top, hinge one end and put it up. Quote Link to comment
Jtek Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Cant find the vid on youtube. but a guy already put it on an old 60s camaro and almost blew the engine up hahaha Prolly came off a train. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 it'd take some fabrication thats for sure.. not to mention some big carbs or something, that fuckers huge.. im sure with some low compression pistons an good rings an bearings it might work for a while.. go buy it mike an find out..

Gensaiken Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Cant find the vid on youtube. but a guy already put it on an old 60s camaro and almost blew the engine up hahaha Prolly came off a train. This one? The guy said he turned it on and tapped the gas. The front wheels came up about an inch and blew both head gaskets. Supposedly it is a super charger from a train/boat engine. EMD 710 people were saying. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 its an 8-71 they were on the 8cyl diesels, i used to play with those in the navy:D Indeed! I know there are 5-71s for smaller V6s. WoW 8-71! Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Ah yes, that's for a mazda B13 to bump up the torque from 3ft-lbs to 30ft-lbs. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Buy it Mike!!!! How much could they want for it!!!! Yard art all the way :D Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Wah-ha-ha-ha-ha Actually the guys there said someone was in looking to make a coffee table out of it. Obviously isn't married. Quote Link to comment
mnementh666 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 That's a hella lot bigger than any 8-71 I've ever heard of. I vote big-ass diesel motor 'charger :) Be amusing to see what kinda pressure you'd build on even a BBC with that. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Pressure would depend on the rotor clearances and seals, probably same as the small ones, but the volume would be huge! Doubt if it could be spun too high with that size and weight. Doesn't datsunaholic work on or with big marine motors? Or is it turbos? That red Camaro was insanely trying to pump about 8 times the volume of air into that motor. What was he thinking? Quote Link to comment

I vote big-ass diesel motor 'charger :) Be amusing to see what kinda pressure you'd build on even a BBC with that. 8-71's were/are big GM Detroit diesel's, Im not talking about the blower, the term 6-71 blower comes from it being used on a 6-71 detroit diesel engine (which were 6 cyl, 8-71 was an 8 cyl, 12-71 is a 12 cyl) It could also be a 12-71 detroit diesel...those are big mofos and can haul some ass the 8-71 to 12-71 were "V" configured with the blowers on top, the 2-71 to 6-71 were all inline with the blowers on the side Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I got me one!!:P LOL Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I USED to work on marine diesels. But 6-71s were the biggest I worked on. That's a lot bigger than a 6-71 blower, and bigger than an 8V-71 blower. Whatever it came off of, it wasn't removed with any care. The front case is broken, and the remains of what it was bolted to are evident- I think it's upside-down, so that would be the intake plenum. Quote Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Do you still work at the museum? Yes, but we don't use diesels. We use very large WWII aviation engines. Quote Link to comment
