Default Blower whine but theres no blower?!?

So Im sittin in my Jeep in my college parkin lot his morning smoking a ciggarette and I hear this nice lumpy cam and a blower whine. I look back nice white lx with a set of welds big cowlhood, he pulls into a spot and I go over and start to BS with him for a little. Nice car 347, dart block, all fordged, carb'd. Sounds mean as hell, anyway when I ask him what kinda blower he had on it he said there was none its just a N/A 347. Now what in the world would make that blower sound, it sounded like a big BDS topmount when he was pullin in the parking lot. Im stumped?

Gear drives are 1960's junk technology.

Hasn't the B-cam been around since the 80's? Think of it this way, in the time that the letter cams were formed, the world has invented the internet, flat screen TV's, actual portable cell-phones, cars that get 50+ mpg, etc, and the Ford cams have not changed one bit.
