[QUOTE=aliceempire;6407021]Like this?



yes exactly like this one, but maybe I have to make more holes to fit the 8 bolts 6-71 has, the question is if the intake rectangular shape is the same as the 6-71

Re: Vortec adapter for Weiand 6-71

I'm not well versed on it but I doubt it's the same or even close enough. If memory serves, weiand/holley discontinued 6-71 stuff shortly after the mini was introduced. And of those that were produced, I don't know if the vortec base was made. My guess is finding one means getting one from someones stash. GL

Re: Vortec adapter for Weiand 6-71

I think the same cause i cant find any adapter. And must be easier to find some heads and replace vortec ones.
Or sell 6-71 and change to a 142 for vortec. Thanks for your answers!

Get a good set of aluminum heads and forget all about vortecs if you want that 6-71 bad enough. They'll flow more.

Re: Vortec adapter for Weiand 6-71

Which one would you recommend? Is there any head ready to install with all the parts assembled?
and also should fit the same shape of the intake manifold and water as the 6-71.
thanks a lot! And sorry for my english.

There are a lot of good aluminum heads available. Looking for new? Best deal for the money is probably these https://www.airflowresearch.com/195c...cylinder-head/

If these guys don't have what you're looking for then it probably isn't available.

No there is not.. Any other vortec style pattern sbc blower manifold would need a custom made adapter plate to install a 6-71 roots blower on.

Find a set of large combustion chamber aluminum heads eg Brodix IK200.. eg Dart SHP 200.

Re: Vortec adapter for Weiand 6-71

Wonder if you could buy the porter friendly base from rbs
https://www.rbssuperchargers.com/Pro...BDS--1100-0001

and modify the bolt pattern and port shape to cover the vortec heads?

Re: Vortec adapter for Weiand 6-71

Dyers Blowers once had tenative plans to make a vortec pattern supercharger intake manifold for the
L-31 GM vortec/fastburn heads. Wether that actually got done you would have to ask Dyers directly.
You will be at or above the cost of new budget aluminum cylinder heads on this.
The AFR "Enforcer" As cast or Skip White NKB200cc, Assault racing "import heads" are very good for this.
