In the past,whever I needed to remove the blower from the intake I would need 3 friends come over and "man" the serp belts to lift the blower off and set it into the cart.Kudos and thanks to Nitro Buzzard Ken for hooking me up with an "I" beam and trolly to go with it.Ken also installed the beam on the ceiling and fabricated the brackets to mount the Harbor Freight $50 25000 lb winch to the trolley and the bracket to hold the supporting straps attached to the blower.
I can now R&R the blower myself

damn! how heavy is that setup??

Mr. P,it's for the blower only.I would not lift my iron headed hemi with that,It's a Chinese winch

---

Nice set up for what your doing.

Though the winch is most likely strong enough to pull the motor too, I would want to know what and how the

I Beam is attached to before I would try it.

Sorry, kinda ignorant on the blower thing, what do you do to R&R one then?

Is this the slowest Blown Hemi in the world ?

For a 3900 lb car that gets driven a few thousand miles a year it could be one of the slowest I have not tried more than 10 lbs of boost just yet. 113 mph in the 1/8 and 140 in the 1/4 almost respectable. I'm in the process of installing a racepak,then I won't be so nervous about throwing more boost at it.

Nice setup for removing your blower. I would be more concerned with the strength of the ceiling beams, etc. Wouldn't want to find out it is too weak the hard way.
Just a thought from another Hemi lover.

It's fine for lifting the blower,I wouldn't lift the engine.Bet this iron headed hemi with the blower,carbs & scoop weigh 1000 lbs

I carry my 90# blower,carbs thru 4 doorways to the garage,put the blower on a mat on the fender,stand on the inner frame rail,waterpump and lift the blower on the intake.I need the exercise.I am glad you can put a nice lift like that in.

Your a brute Mike,my back would break if I tried lifting it

I was just busting your chops. That Thing Is Old School tuff.

I'm the slow poke!!

I remember wrenching my back when I tried to carefully set my 8-71 down over the aluminum studs, by myself. My back was hurting for a few days.

I did heavy lifting for 30 yrs at work so now that I am retired[56yrs old]I need to use muscles or loose them but I understand others working smart not hard.

Ive got a question.
What am I doing wrong? my car ran 9.88@ 136.40 with a 1.37 60 foot. And it weighs 3750 race ready.
Does that blower add top end mph to go 3.5 mph faster at 3900 lbs?
Maybe I'll have to get me one of them...

---

My numbers are "so far " with just 10 lbs of boost should go up at the boost gets increased

Hemi itis did you find some intake studs that work for you?

Mike,I was told that installing the manifold over the 16 studs is nearly impossible. Went with ARP bolts
