And the crank being forged steel 4340 most likely is overkill .. !

I got a oar in the water from the same boat you're in !

This Littlefield blower is for sale on Facebook Marketplace, Fellow asking a pretty penny for it ..

My order for motor parts should be here today .. In that order are forged pistons with having 21 cc pop ups, netting around 10.5 : 1 compression ..
A bit high for forced induction .. Would have to keep the boost low at 4 or 5 pounds running 93 pump gas ...
Tuning window would be very limited to control detonation ..

Maybe when I hit the Lottery I'll buy it !?! ...
( And a set of lower compression pistons )

Dang ... Look what followed me home ... 3-71 Blower ... Don't have a need for it cause it's way too small for a big block... Would work great on a 6 cylinder or a flathead Ford V-8 ... Got it listed on Facebook Marketplace for 3 hundred ,,,

We'll see how this project goes ...

Reason for me wanting to build a test run stand is for allowing me to do the break-in ..

Thinking pretty hard on buying a run stand that's all done instead of building it ..
