I know this thread is pretty old but wondering if these plates are still available for both blown and unblown setups? I would be interested in one of each.

Hi Jim,

This is an old one!

We had sold all the other kits, well I have one I've hung on to for myself. I could reach out the the machinist and see if he would like to make another run of these, but would probably need a few other interested parties for it to make sense.

I wondered how many set-ups were sold in that 11+ years?????

Agreed, maybe someone has one they never used.

[Tom Vaught]

I have the Front Plate and a BOP set-up someplace.
Probably covered up by Holley & Rochester carburetors, LOL!

If you are not planning to use that stuff and willing to dig it out and sell it let me know and I will send you a PM with my phone number.

[Tom Vaught]

I will look tomorrow. The engine plate is easy. The rest of the belt drive stuff will take some looking.

[Tom Vaught]

Good News. I have all of the parts.

Not so good news. He wanted a fuel pump drive system for a Pontiac and I had a
Belt Driven Camshaft Drive system from BOP Engineering.

Tom, as you know, sometimes you need a part designed and it's justified by selling a few more. As is the case here. I wound up selling several then pulled the plug on my racing program at the time, so I never pursued making any more. It only makes sense for someone if they are running the BOP belt drive, and need a way to drive a large volume mechanical pump. I think we only made around 10 kits.

The machinist I used was hit pretty hard by covid, I spoke to him today and it sounds like he may have some remaining pieces. If there were to be more interest, it's likely we could produce more.

I bought this kit years ago as I added a 10-71 Roots blower to my engine and it works great. I highly recommend it. When I documented my blower conversion in a thread up here in this section years ago, I thanked KGTO and a few others here who made parts for fellow Pontiackers and sold them at a reasonable price. Couldn't have done it without them.

That is very good news for people who want to go down that path.

Hopefully you can make it happen again.

Thanks Tom and thanks Jim, I value the input of both of you!

We shall see what happens moving forward, happy to be a part of the success of others.
