they are like new about 50 hrs. $6000.00 plus shipping.bought them as winter project but I am closing on new house this week and things may get tight this winter with a major house and business move at the same time. I had them sold to a member on oso but he has been stalling the sale for 3 weeks and am no longer interested in dealing with him.
They are B&M 250's, holley 600 cfm with 4 corner idle set up for the blowers they come with 5 and 8 lbs pulleys, fuel lines, carb linkage, flame arrestor, belts and stainless marine t stat housings. Brian

Just an update, I have come full circle back to massaging my 454 mags. Found some great cond. used Weiand 177's for 1300. Gonna get Tyler Crockett put together a package of new cam, roller hyd. lifters. I can get him to redo the heads for 1300 with all the good stuff or buy CNC ported to his spec heads for 2800. Seems to me I may want to go with the Brodix heads. Any opinions. By the way going to go with 5lbs boost, pump gas. What does everyone think about the heads and this blower.

So, what power level are you looking for now? I would think the 177s should get you to 600hp if the components are right. More than that and coolers maybe necessary to soak up the heat from spinning the blowers faster. If you have aspirations for 700hp, then the 250s or 6-71s would be better in the long run. The Brodies are alot better than stock and will help with both the heat problem and future HP needs. As you already know, speed costs money , no point in doing it twice.
OT, I read in the Elim. section that you ski a Maja longboard, whats your opinion of it, worth the bucks? Also, whats its like to ski behind a cat? Been wanting to move up to one, but my daughter theatens to disown me if she can't ski behind it. Chuck

177's are small and build heat to make the power .
