they may look cool but the old school straight lobe rotor blowers are horribly inefficient. they are power hogs and hot air blowers. plus i believe the desination 6-71 is for 6 cylinder engines

While a 6/71 did come on 6cylinger detroits, it has more than enough capacity to grenade even a really big small block. They look damn impressive and are cheap if you have the patience to shop around. If you're not after the bling of a 6/71 sticking out of your hood, Edelbrock is marketing a magnuson 112 that will fit on pre LT1 small blocks. It mounts the carb on top like the 6/71 blowers, but isn't nearly as tall. Doesn't have the old school eye appeal, but it's a much more effecient blower. I dont understand why they don't offer the intercooled blower manifold on these older small blocks. Now that would be a sweet rig.

When I think of a blower, the 6/8-71's are what comes to mind. They may be inneficient but all the BIG BLOWN methanol fuelers are running them 
Godd ol' Detroit Deisels!! Leak like a sob but never stop running. I used to run boats with engines from 1940's and the 6 cylinders just ran forever!

339 cubic inches per revolution sure would be nice
