Holeshot $775 sounds like a lot for a REAL blower manifold, but has got to be better than perching a blower on a Torker!!! $3150 for a complete kit, polished. http://www.hamptonblowers.com/PRICE.HTML
Holeshot I just found this elsewhere.... "BDS AMC KITS AMC 871 blower kits are available for all AMC V8's.

"Our intake manifold for the AMC is a 2 piece manifold made from an Offy base, then a channel adaptor is welded to it to recieve the blower unit. Both pieces are cast aluminum." An UNPOLISHED butcher job for how many thousand dollars??? That's how they treat AMC guys, so tinkle on them!!! A "Ron's Flying Toilet" or Enderle on a Hampton would be fine for me!!!
Blown7 I've been running a BDS manifold, with a custom built by me 6-71. Let me tell ya from my experience that a fancy manifold ain't gonna make one hp more than the BDS manifold. Its all positive pressure and the blower will force all the air the engine needs thru. The Hampton setup is high, I got enough trouble looking around the BDS manifold with a 6-71 and Bugcatcher. Also I think the Blower drive belt system on the Hampton is real long. Jeff
