Hell of a good deal.Rare beastie.
I seen one go for around $3500 or so..
Used? For $3500 you can buy a brand new 6-71 Blower Kit for a Small Block Mopar from Dyers Blowers. That's everything. The Blower, Intake, Snout/Drive, Pulleys and the hardware to install it. (you pick the psi/boost you want, belt width and style and how many grooves you need on the v-belt pulleys and they build a drive assembly to match your order)
You supply the engine and intake manifold gaskets, of course
Dyers now has the specs for a 3-Groove SBM Pulley (as well as 1 groove and 2 groove pulleys), because I ordered that for my '74 Duster. I was the first person to ever order a 6-71 Blower for a 340 with Power Steering & Air Conditioning. I had to send in my old 3-groove pulley so they could build my order since they didn't have the specs on file for such a creature.
Very cool! What sort of problems have you had? Which size blower do you have? The gentleman selling the unit on ebay isnt sure which one he has, 144, or 162...Is there a way to tell, by blower case measurements? the only numbers he can find are: C1A59 & 12902.
Thanks for the info thus far, everyone.
Is the original low profile b&cm designed fit under a stock or 3" six pack fiberglass hood in my 67 barracuda?
I have a line on an original b&m still in box that I'm thinking of picking up, just not sure if it will fit under the hood. Also what the going price of one?

Actually I've had very little trouble. The only problem I've had is the seal behind the pulley popped out on me and got lube all over the place. I replaced it and haven't had any further issues.
That b&m is still under a grand... that would be one hell of a deal
This is not mine and if I had a few hundred more bucks I would bid on it!

Do you think 2K for a complete kit is a good deal?
Thanks MiradaMegaCab:thumblef:Nice ride!!
A cost saving tip for all, use Chicago Rawhide seals as an alternative.
CR-9876 are for the front rotor bearing seals, 2 req'd
CR-9854 are for the rear rotor bearing seals, 2 req'd
CR-12531 are for the snout/nose by the pulley.
That would be a NOS set up.
