While checking out Amazon we came across an interesting sale on the 7482P Weiand Supercharger Kit. This is the classic 6-71 blower which is designed to generate 50+ percent more horsepower and torque across the RPM range. The included pulleys will generate 11 to 12 Psi boost on a small block 350 engine.
The 7482P Weiand 6-71 Series Supercharger Kit comes complete and ready to bolt on to 1955-1986 Chevy small blocks that have a small cap distributor with short water pump and accessory brackets.
Amazon’s sale for the kit is $2,923.98 USD. The nice thing with Amazon is potentially free shipping and 12 month financing if you use the Amazon store card. If you’re not interested in Amazon’s free shipping and financing then JEGS has the same kit on for $14 cheaper.

Remembering Phil Jr. He died 14 years ago tomorrow, which happens to be the Superbowl Sunday for the first time since then. I knew him well, he was a beautiful and brilliant kid who became addicted, beat addiction, and overdosed fatally years later 2/4/2004. I wish he had known his father better. He was always so proud of his dad and the Weiand name. The courage and strength and imagination of a man crippled at 20 should be an example for all, but I wish someone would have given him a nice mandolin. Like at some point wouldn’t that occur to someone???ps love to Joan 😉
A true blast form the past. These highly sought after superchargers have been unavailable for years. Weiand is proud to reintroduce them. The case of the 6-71 and 8-71 superchargers have been redesigned for a nostalgic look that will look at home on a cacklefest dragster as well as a new high end build. HORSEPOWER! – Weiand’s 6-71 kits are the ultimate statement of power and looks. Pull into the local cruise-in or dragstrip with one of these sticking through the hood and you will get noticed. They’re not for the meek however – these supercharger kits are designed to generate 50%+ more horsepower and torque across the rpm range! Weiand’s 6-71 blower kits are equipped with exclusive two lobe rotors for maximum boost at lower RPMs. All feature a new case, end-plates, manifold and snout. Billet belt tensioner components and V-belt pulleys round out the package to give you everything necessary for installation. Kits are engineered to produce 10-12 lbs of boost on small blocks and 5-7 lbs of boost on big blocks but are a simple pulley change away from pump gas or hard core racing. All superchargers are built in Weiand’s state-of-the-art manufacturing cell and each supercharger is 100% boost tested to help you squeeze out maximum power and efficiency.
