Pushing Vortech's New Blower Kit to the Max with Our Built 427 Small Block [Fixing Old Problems]

Vortech sent us their new Third Generation Blower Kit for the Chevy small block for a story that will be appearing in All Chevy Performance Magazine. So since I had it, I figured I'd tell you the behind-the-scenes story of bringing this old engine back to life and how the supercharger kit fared when we bolted it up to way more engine than it was designed for. And a huge shout-out to Keith and Jeff Dorton of Automotive Specialists (https://www.automotivespecialists.com) for all their expertise machining this block back into shape!
