This is a complete roots-style blower setup centered around a polished Weiand 8-71 supercharger, prepared for a serious high-performance street or race build. Mounted prominently in the center is the polished 8-71 blower unit itself, featuring a clean exterior finish with minimal wear. The supercharger case is well maintained, with smooth polished surfaces and no sort of damage or corrosion. At the front of the unit is the extended drive snout, which houses the internal drive shaft and supports the pulley assembly responsible for transferring power from the crankshaft to the blower. The rectangular discharge opening located underneath the blower is designed to channel compressed air directly into the intake manifold, although the manifold is not currently bolted in place.
This roots-style setup is ideal for big horsepower applications and is commonly used on high-performance V8 engines in drag racing, street/strip, and show car builds. The overall condition suggests a solid foundation for a complete blower installation or restoration project.
