Took a ride to see Eddie today to give him the new elbows. The engine looks real good and will be on the dyno next week. Eddie and Travis have done some real nice work. Opened up the fuel rail and will feed fuel from both ends and has a return line back to the tank. Cut down the intake and opened it up some. Photo563.jpg


In this pic you can see what the intake use to look like and that mine has been cut down so it is level with the inside of the plenum. Also charged from V-belt to serpentine Photo561.jpg


PS cooler mounted on the rear deck, cool fuel mounted were cooler was, port side low Photo562.jpg

Now I really need to get moving to finish the transom and other glass work

Nice. I had sort of forgotten about the engine portion of your project.

Unless things change I'm going to go and pick up the engine probably Tuesday. Talking to Eddie he said the engine produced 545 HP and 617 Torque using 91 octane. He did two engines and believes the numbers are correct but will have paper work when I go to pick it up. Numbers will probably drop 15HP when hooked up to my exhaust. He uses dry tuned headers running through a muffler do to sound level.

When I'm done with repairs and ready Eddie will come down and ride with to return for optimum performance

That will get your boat up out of the water . . . What HP were looking at previously?

Was figuring 515 to 525, about 100 more then before, but the torque numbers is what's impressing me a solid 600 ft lb

Might be but The Admiral just will not give me that much more allowance, maybe next year :D

Ohhh I do understand I've have the bug so bad now its almost painful. But the ceo is watching me like a hawk she knows me well. But I've pigeonholed almost enough to build a stroker but to many concessions would have to be made at this point. kinda like selling off some of the fleet...not going to happen.....

Been doing a bit of work on the engine to get it ready to go in. To look at it, it doesn't seam much different on the out side other then change over from V-belt to serpentine, same paint and other items. Removed the oil fill cap and you can see one of the new roller rockers

A new set of exhaust tips with turn downs came in from CMI

They installed some very slight baffles to help reduce the sound when on plane
