On this episode, I purchase a 671 Weiand blower kit right off the display shelf at Summit Racing and install it on my big block chevy. #supercharger #tri-five #blower
I have a similar setup on my chevelle . Close to twenty years with no major problems. If you keep it 8 to 10 pounds of boost your engine will last . I put a manual vent on mine and " burp " it when it shut it off . Have fun !
Great video. It makes me want to go buy a tri five of my own. I already have two front fenders, one 55 one 57, both are Drivers side but at least it's a start.
David, if you haven't already seen it, you gotta check out a cult Aussie film called 'Running on Empty' 1982. While I love our home-grown vehicles, as a young bloke watching this film opened my eyes and cemented a love for US 50's and 60's cars and imo has one of the most iconic 57's put to film. Cheers 🍻 🏁
Always love the blower whine. Hot Rod had a tech tip from the 80's, to drill the flats on the pulleys with 1/8 in holes to help stop blower whine. I don't know why a guy would want to do that🤔
Car went from a 10 to an 11! My son is about the same age as yours and he is joining me in the garage now too. I hope he becomes a regular on the channel. You’re a good dad.
I used to have a poor man’s blower back in the day. No blower at all. Just a summers brothers cam gear drive on 283. 1” straight cut gears sounds more like a blower than a blower. FWIW Nice job! Looks awesome!
I love those 57's with a roots blower. Ours has a BDS 8-71. This video reminded me of putting our Nomad together before the Street Machine Nats in DuQuoin. We won best engine and got a pic of it in the Car Craft or Hod Rod I don't remember which. Both our blower cars have power steering and an alternator. My 79 Regal still has the vacuum booster. The brackets and belts are always entertaining. I look forward to more on this project.
Hey David, the car looks killer and the engine sounds awesome. Old school is the way to go. Love your channel and videos, along with the great cars coming out of your garage. Take care and be safe.
Reminds me of back in the mid 60's, in Long Beach CA. One of my brother's friends had a '57 Chevy. It had a small block (probably the stock 283) with a blower. That Yellow '57 looked wicked, with the blower sticking out of the hood. Go ahead and take one of your other less than perfect hoods and cut it to clear the blower. It will duplicate the old school look of the 50's/60's.
It looks absolutely baddass right now. Pretty cool that you were able to get that demo that sat for all those years. Cool backstory to it. Love everything about this car.
That look on your face once you set it on the engine and stood back…. “PRICELESS”💯 Can’t wait to see the final burnout I mean outcome!😁 Chris-Tuscaloosa Al✌️
I'm following your footsteps, I recently destroyed my small block due to a blower so now it's going on a big block I'm building, cant wait, this is giving me the motivation
Loos great and sound s great ! I love blowers on BBC's . I have an 8:71 on my 37 Chev Gasser. Great tech tips as well. Looking forward to you going for a spin. Thanks for the video.
13:03 how ya sittin for belts? OMG!!!! No wonder Georgia has a belt shortage! =). Your Son looks like a RIPPER on that quad! Its cool that you are teaching Him how to wrench and RIP. Much love from Alabama "The better southern state"
Your kid is awesome. First he’s bearfoot in the shop helping straight to ripping the quad in the yard. I’m sure with your help he’s going to be a little bad ass! Great job on the blower looks freaking correct that way haha
I like the blower ! I ain’t never been able to afford one but I think they are so cool looking and sound great ! I like the kids style sitting in the engine bay fitting belts and barefoot! Reminds me of myself when I was a kid! Loved not wearing shoes and still enjoy being barefoot getting close to retirement! Enjoy the blower and that sweet whine that the belt gives ! The louder the better!
Dave.....luv you on CZcams and Faster with Finnegan !!!! Been down and out for a bit with a serious family issue....loosing my mother to cancer. Watching the new Faster with Newbern & Cotten has honestly given me so much joy !!!! ABSOLUTELY love the new pigpin episode ❤❤❤❤❤ I have built 6 47-54 3100's and it is one of my fav and best GM body styles ! It has lightened my day in an otherwise heart breaking time in my life. To watch you and Cotten do the pigpen/S15 swap...Really is awesome, Pope was was dead on !!! You guys nailed it. Hope motortrend keeps you guys on and increases the budge for fun to come !!!! From one gearhead to another.....THANK YOU !
That is so damn cool David. 0lanning on putting an 6-71 or an 8-71 on my 440 for my 57 Dodge pickup when I build her. Can't wait to see the drive video. 😎👍
This my favorite car of all time ,all though I’m not a huge fan of the patina look 57 chevys are awesome no matter how you fix them up,my favorite 57 of all time was the project X 57 of hot rod magazine,my dream was to one day own one that was yellow with a blower sticking off of the engine bay with no hood of course,Tony Danza driving it in the movie Hollywood Knights was instrumental in making me dream of one myself,anyway glad to see you doing your thing ,great video
Sweetness illustrated! I have the same blower with the Quick fuel 650 carbs and the same scoop. I also have a 16 jet nitrous plate. I didn't like the way the filters held the scoop on and the hassle of installing them. I made a clamping bracket to hold the scoop to the carbs. I can run it without the filters if I want to. Its easy to flip around if it rains. I also used knurled nuts on a post on them so the filters can easily be put in with no tools. I really enjoy your channel. We think alike. My build is a little different. Chevy inline 6 292 (308). Weiand 6-71 with 2 Quick Fuel 650 DP and 16 jet nitrous plate. Ryan Falconer V-12 head. Billet crank, steel billet rods and billet solid roller cam all by Crower. Mains dowelled and girdled. 5 stage dry sump. Electromotive direct fire EMS. 5 speed going in my 53 Chevy 1/2 ton drag and drive pickup. Hope to see you there next year. Thank you for your time.
So sick to see your lad getting involved! Even little things like picking belts out will stay with him, I can see he's going to be a proper petrol head when he grows up just from him ripping around on that quad. I see a future of no money but rad stuff on the drive for him 😂
as far as the hood goes I think I would try to find another hood and cut it where you would have approx. the front 1/3 of the hood and cut right at the core support and be completely open from there back. that would look killer especially from the front!
That’s funny you were able to purchase the display models off the showroom floor. Holley stopped making the Weiand 8-71 blower and Summit in Arlington, Tx still had a unit on display with a price tag. I asked a sales person why would they have it on display if they don’t sell them anymore? I also asked him if they would sell me the display model and he said no. So I found the store manager and asked him the same thing. He said the display models have holes drilled in certain places and the product couldn’t be used anymore. I told him I didn’t care about the holes because I had some Weiand blower parts and needed the unit on display. I also told him I would sign whatever agreement he needed me to sign releasing Summit from any responsibility of damage parts sold or he could sell it to me through their scratch and dent used section. Then he tells me they have to send them back to the manufacturer to be destroyed. I went back 8 months later and the dang thing is still on display with a price tag. Lol
I had to shim my pulleys and alt mount on the ramp truck fwd 1/4" because the belt was rubbing on the lower hose when I got it from finnegan with that same alt. mount. Forgot to tell you that the other night when we talked about it. looks good, big improvement
I remembered that part as soon as I tried the belt. It all came back to me haha. I ran the water pump pulley with the power steering and crank. I then ran the alternator off just the water pump and all is well.
Thought you were in to Chevys . U got ford mustang in the shop . The 57 Chevy putting a blower on . Dave freiberger !! From Flint Michigan Gordon WALKER
I would've put the Plug wires on 1st, before installing the blower. The Car has come a long ways since you bought it, But It is looking very Cool Now!! it is cool to see your boy working on the 57, reminds of being a kid helping around a sprint car shop, when I was his age, a next gen gear head!!
That is so sexy, damn I do love the supercharger sounds.
Your kid was riding the hell out of that atv! Good for him!
Thank Mr. Dickie Scruggs for making 12V Dave's dream come true
Damn right. Thanks to their chance encounter, the legend of dickey will live on forever through 12 and 6 v Newberns.
@@fukemallgarage
Now THAT SHITS COOL (6v Dave 🇺🇸)
Anyone else smile at their screen when that beast plopped down ?
Love that new blower whine.
That is a cool set up. Thanks for all the info. Cheers
That sounded really nice when you started it up.
Looks even better with the chrome reverse back...👍
That is bad ass. Love it.
Might be one of my favorite videos. Tri 5, BBC, and a blower, what else could you possibly need? Oh yes, burnouts!
I have a similar setup on my chevelle . Close to twenty years with no major problems. If you keep it 8 to 10 pounds of boost your engine will last . I put a manual vent on mine and " burp " it when it shut it off . Have fun !
That loud pedal is going to be insane
Great video. It makes me want to go buy a tri five of my own. I already have two front fenders, one 55 one 57, both are Drivers side but at least it's a start.
Do it 👍
Love your content, David.
Me: Why’s he got a whole tub of belts?
Me on summit: I’ll just order one of every size because I’m not waiting any longer.
Nvm
Now all you & Finn got to do is talk Tony into putting a blower on his '55 & you guys can call yourselves The Blew Crew! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My dream was also a blower , i put a BDS 8/71 on my 540, 69 Firebird 11 yrs ago. Street car. 👍🏻👍🏻 57 looks badass
every shoe box needs a weezer! especially one that you once spun. this ought to be FUN
Those chrome rims are just about perfect on that Chevy... beautiful.
Little 6 volt has got some skills on the quad!!
57 looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it out in the wild.
David, if you haven't already seen it, you gotta check out a cult Aussie film called 'Running on Empty' 1982.

Serious Hollywood Knights' Project X vibes. Duke and Smitty would be proud.
Your channel and your 57 just keep get more awesome!
Always love the blower whine. Hot Rod had a tech tip from the 80's, to drill the flats on the pulleys with 1/8 in holes to help stop blower whine. I don't know why a guy would want to do that🤔
Man she a beauty 👍👍👍👍looks like you have the bigger pulley on top. Sounds gorgeous keep up the great work
Car went from a 10 to an 11! My son is about the same age as yours and he is joining me in the garage now too. I hope he becomes a regular on the channel. You’re a good dad.
Outstanding, that just made that 57 perfect. It'd look great in a photo next to the Hulkamino.
There is nothing better in this world than working on cars with your kids!
I could fell the excitement when you fired it up. Great job chasing done parts to make it happen! 😎
Thanks Bob
Hìb
Barefoot and helping my pops out with his car is priceless!
I love your channel, David. IMHO you look happier doing this than when you were on FG. KEEP IT UP SIR!!!
what an awsome dad ! nice blower man love the show dave
Thank you
Why Not ! Blowers for everybody .I love my blower car .Good stuff cant wait for the burnouts.
I used to have a poor man’s blower back in the day. No blower at all. Just a summers brothers cam gear drive on 283. 1” straight cut gears sounds more like a blower than a blower. FWIW
Nice job! Looks awesome!
i loved the story of you getting that chev
❤ Love your videos awesome Contant Contant
Thanks so much!
Congrats it sounds amazing and the look on your son's face when they rolled out the cart priceless 👌
No thanks scammer scum
Been to summit in McDonough summit and probably spun that blower!!!! How cool is that
"Spotto a blown 57 chev".
(Aussie movie buffs will know what im on about).
Son: Doing quad donuts all over the lawn
Dad: Just films it lol
Been waiting for this video, love this car and the story behind it
You can run either style pulley then drill holes between the pulley ribs and it lets the air escape...another old school tip.
I love those 57's with a roots blower. Ours has a BDS 8-71. This video reminded me of putting our Nomad together before the Street Machine Nats in DuQuoin. We won best engine and got a pic of it in the Car Craft or Hod Rod I don't remember which. Both our blower cars have power steering and an alternator. My 79 Regal still has the vacuum booster. The brackets and belts are always entertaining. I look forward to more on this project.
RIP to your lower back lol! Glad to see you gaining some momentum 6v Dave! That thing is going to be fun to burn some tires off with!
I love seeing you and your son doing stuff together, proud papa watching his son doing donuts on the grass.
Thank you
@@12VoltDave hi
Wanting to see that burnout . 😂
I like the steelies. Those wheels fit that badass car perfectly!!

Drink a beer every time Newbern says "Summit". 🤣
Got to have that whine with a blower.
Awesome set up
Beautiful car! Burnout tease what a burnout tease!!!;!;;;;!!!!!
I have spun that blower many times!
It's on display now on top of your engine 😊
It looks absolutely baddass right now. Pretty cool that you were able to get that demo that sat for all those years. Cool backstory to it. Love everything about this car.
Wicked episode Dave. Really looking forward to the 1st drag and drive You take it on. Mick London
Looks great Dave. Reminds me of all the hot rods in Southern California when I was a teen. Thanks for taking us along the ride. Sounds great as well!
Looks awesome! Love the channel 🤘🏼
That look on your face once you set it on the engine and stood back…. “PRICELESS”💯

Been toying with the idea of putting a Weiand on my 56..think this just convinced me to pull the trigger.
Good shape for the shape it's in.
Dave, I need a belt for my Pinto, it's about that long!
The little man doin' donuts made my day! 😀
Listen at dat Wind Mill Whine
you will like the revs from blower congrats on selection

It would look great if you cut the old hood and mounted from the radiator forward so you’d still have the 57 Chevy nose look.

I didn't have them and couldn't wait. I could wait, but I didn't want to.
I totally understand not wanting to wait, for more parts & get head of myself, lmao@@12VoltDave
Little David the barefoot mechanic 😊
That is such a cool 57.
