I have a project a 6/71 or 8/71 blower would be the icing on the cake. Anyone out there have a complete setup or maybe just the manifold? Let me know. Thank you

The usual way to make a blower intake for an Olds motor is to start with an old single plane Offy dual quad intake. Mill the carb surfaces flat, open the top of the intake up, and weld or bolt on a thick aluminum plate to mount the blower on. This is how BDS used to make blower intakes.



Their website doesn't have a photo of their current Olds intake, but they apparently do have photos of a dedicated Pontiac blower intake, so maybe they have started casting dedicated Olds intakes also.

The only "real" blower intake for an Olds motor that I've ever seen is the one cast by Sharp in the 1960s and used on the Hurst Hairy Olds and the Terrifying Toronado. I'm still kicking my self that I didn't buy the one I saw at the Pomona swap meet in the 1980s.

This is true! Sad though the poor guy buys one and changes direction two years down the road and he won't be able to give the thing away! Everything costs a fortune for an olds but is never worth anything when you want to do something else!

Everything cost a fortune for parts with low demand. Check out their manifold prices for other motors:

AMC $1695
Nailhead $1650
Big Block Buick $1695
Chevy 409 $1650
Small Block Chrysler $1695
Ford Cleveland $1650
Ford Windsor $1650
Ford FE $1695

Heck, even LS motor intakes are $1375

The only "cheap" blower intakes are the ones in high demand. SBC, BBC, early Hemi, and 426 Hemi.

Wow! It makes sense when you think about it! I guess it's been that long since I looked one up. There you go joe start making them you could make some money!
