Here's a closer look at that 400ci Pontiac engine with the 671 Blower.CLICK-> 
View of the engine in Bill's Pro Street 1970 Judge with the front end removed.CLICK-> 
Bill has been doing some work on his blown 1970 Judge. Click here to see a shot of the accident on the way to the Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio last year. Besides some body work, Bill is working on his engine. Bill explains, "The new 'double blower' setup will be an 8-71 on top of a 6-71 with a Super Chiller Intercooler under them. This will be topped off with a 400HP nitrous system for even more grins. I will not be racing it with the double blower setup. That will be for showing and cruising. I will switch to the single 8-71 blower for racing purposes."CLICK-> 
Bill is also repainting his 1970 Judge. Bill tells us more, "It is PPG Orange Glow over a silver base. In the picture it looks more gold than orange but in person the orange really shows better. I will be putting it back together and have it ready for Cruisin Ocean City (Maryland) event in May 2006. I will hopefully be back at Norwalk with the new paint job and my 'double blower' setup."CLICK-> 
  
Bill has his 1970 Judge out of the paint shop. It's now ready for re-assembly. Here it sits on a 4-wheel trailer with tiedowns.CLICK-> 
Here it is all together. Bill tells us, "Well, here it is almost complete. I had to take the 'double blower' setup off because it wouldn't clear the hood and I didn't have time to cut and repaint the hood before the Ocean City Md. Cruisin event. I will have the double blower setup on it shortly."CLICK-> 
Bill has his Judge back in the garage for another try at the double blower. Bill explains, "Well, here it is finally. I will be working the bugs out for a while but it runs and drives. Lots of stuff still left to do to the car but it's getting closer. By next year, it will be the way I want it. The engine is a 474ci Pontiac engine with two blowers. The top one is a 8-71 blower and the bottom one is a 6-71 blower. I also have a Super Chiller intercooler under them to help control heat issues. Lots of other goodies on the car too, such as a 400HP nitrous kit, custom Griffin aluminum radiator, Turbo 400 w/ 9" converter, Ford 9" rear with 4.11's, Mickey Thompson 33 X 18.5 ET Street rear tires, Hurst Lightning Rods shifter, custom interior including 10 Autometer gauges in the dash, custom made headers, 3-1/2" exhaust all the way out the back (changing to 4-1/2" soon), fiberglass front end and decklid, and some more stuff."CLICK-> 
This engine is crazy tall.CLICK-> 
It is neat to see it in a garage. That gives a good idea of the scale of this thing compared to where the ceiling is.CLICK-> 
The double blower setup extends at least 12 inches over the top of the roof. See the Hurst Lightning Rods shifter? The important feature of Lightning Rods is that the main (left) control stick provides a simple, easy to operate shift pattern for the normal driving modes.
The gear shift positions, Park, Reverse, Neutral, Overdrive, and Drive, are engaged by moving the stick selector. Manual control of the Second and First gear positions is provided by a progressive sequence of selecting the separate Second gear and First gear selectors in series. Upshift and downshift control is facilitated by merely depressing the stick pushbutton and moving the selector to the desired gear position. When left in Overdrive and Drive, the transmission will automatically select the proper gear as in any automatic transmission program. Manually selected gear changes must be done in numerical sequence, i.e. - Overdrive, Drive, Second, First, (Downshift) or First, Second, Drive, Overdrive, (Upshift) Thumb push button must be depressed for gear changes.CLICK-> 
Here is Bill's Double Blower 1970 Judge at Capitol Pontiac in Greenbelt, Maryland at the 2006 Royal GTO's show. He won Dealer's Choice at the show.CLICK->

Whoo! Bad girls like bad cars. This shot was taken at the Kent Island Md. Father's Day Show.CLICK-> 
Bill's double blower 1970 Judge attracts more ladies. This one was taken at the Myrtle Beach SC Hooters during the Run to the Sun car show in March of 2007. Makes me want to eat out.

NEW POST Here is Bill at the "Pontiacs in the Park" car show in Richmond Virginia in May 2008. Bill adds, "The car didn't pass tech so I wasn't allowed to make a full pass. I did a burn out and then launched it. I will be fixing what needs to be done to pass tech and go back." |
