Default Just bought a 871 blower

I go into advance auto parts and see this brand new 871 supercharger on the counter. I talk with the guy and he says that the guy that ordered it backed out. Then he makes a offer I can't refuse ......today only .....$1600.
I think about it a little while and remember that my buddy has a account there so I wont have to pay tax and my credit card has 1% cash back so that saves me some more. So I brought it. I have a brand new unassembled 383 stroker for my 3rd gen that the blower can go on. I can't wait

I hope that shortblock is stout enough to handle all 129 pounds of the monster! You'll have fun with it! Bob

your right, it could be done, however I think all the fab required would negate the deal he got on the blower.
