Are we talking about an IDI motor with a GMC 6-71 or 8-71 blower setup? If I were to try it I would grab a late 6.9 block and look for some forged pistons that could be milled on top to lower compression. I guess that you would want to o-ring the head but then again I'm not sure that you couldnt get by on just the gasket, it may just be an "every 5 thousand mile" routine. Jeez, Im halfway through the first rebuild and Im already thinking about the next one....How about a serpentine setup with a blower through the hood of an F350. Would it have to go to direct injection though?

with the idi you could fab a blower intake from a stock set-up,other than running the fuel lines a bit different and changing from the cdr to a rdt.i agree about the belt issue. have to rethink that one a bit.as for space,who would,'t want a big polished 6-71 sticking thru the hood.if the boost levels are no more than a turbo would lower comp/o-ringed heads be nesassary??clacking and blower whine,yehaa!

I was thinging like a vortech set up earlier but the companies I talked to said no way could I get the boost I wanted at a low rpm so I don't know what to tell ya..
may be if you had a really big pully on it it would work as long as the belt dont slip your good to go >>>>------------->

the 6-71 for a six-cyl,and the 8 -71 is for an 8 cyl. you probably want to check the out put for each,and the rpm restriction if any. they both run at 2100 max rpm on the detroits good luck Phil
