I find it hard to believe that there's no bolt-on manifold to mount the Whipple to a small Chevy.

I havn't found one yet. And I have looked.

I have found hundreds for LS1 heads, vortec heads, etc, but not a single one for old school heads.

And even if I did, the cost would be well above $4000 for the complete manifold, blower, pulley/belt assembly.

And for 4 grand I could buy 200+ cc AFRs and one trick cam that will add more power than the Whipple anyways.

Wow I'm blind.

They do not however give the height dimensions, or show anything, for a small block Chevy, though I'm sure it exists if a BBC one does.

They did make an error on the site though:
The Whipple Charger is the most efficient supercharger on the market today
That is incorrect. Most centrifugal superchargers run at 5-10% higher adiabatic efficiences when sized accordingly.

So find me a price on a 3300 small block kit.

I feel guilty emailing them long emails asking about shit that I'm just considering, and not even seriously considering yet.

But I guess I have to, because I do want to know. $3000 and they have a deal. 3300 blower, manifold, pulleys, and belt is all I need.
