How much is it to buy/build a blown alcohol BBC, like something out of a mud racer, monster truck, or a tractor puller. Nothing exotic, maybe even iron block iron heads. Something to make a lot of noise? Serious question.



Something like this....

Zoomies are cheap if your just wanting to make a bunch of noise.

 

[ledsled87]

No, want the blown alcohol engine to go with it.

 

[shotgunhemi]

If you want serious power, you'll need a big Ford Hemi... but you'll probably have to update the station wagon chassis.

I spent 65K on mine. I am sure they can be had for much less.

WHATS THE BUDGET

NO MATTER THE COST....IT WON'T EVER BE ENOUGH

 

[ledsled87]

There should be some on the used market out of a lower level tractor puller or mud racer?

 

[ledsled87]

Listen how quick the one in the video I posted revs, pure awesomeness!

 

[Geerbangr]

What are your plans ledsled? Flat bottom boat guys would be another good source. You building a mud buggy?

 

[TheRevII]

Your video shows a boat application, similar to this one. I'm thinking you can buy a nice used one for less than $20,000. What are you going to do with it, by the way?

Hope the one in your video is pouring water out of it, and not methanol....:shock:

 

[ledsled87]

Yeah, I noticed that the hat was on "backwards".....

I have an idea for a build, automotive application. This type of engine set up would be the wild card that Im not familiar with, the rest would be easy.


Man, I love that sound!!

So are the zoomies, if it's a boat motor, so who knows what the hell they plan on doing with it.

I've had several street blower cars, all small blocks, though, but with that instant throttle response like the one in your video. I know ProChargers and big shots of nitrous are all the rage, but nothing draws a crowd like a big ol' blower sticking up there, with plenty of surge and whine.

My last one:

Yeah, that is very nice!

You have the right idea. Basically I want to build the loudest car at the cruise night...

He has built hundreds, check out his site, we did a 392 Hemi for a customer years ago from him, made all the right noises, looked amazing, pump gas and scared the new owner real good!

I would not build it, you should just buy it, he has the blower engines down to a science. His prices are going up though unless you get one of his leftovers, he no longer uses the GM block and has gone Dart on his B/B Chebbie builds. Dave

this is correct

 

[H.G. Wells]

Like most builds it depends.
I have about $10k in mine. My brother bought one for $8500 that was close to this build.
