Hi all

[arejay]

Those are great motors, a lot of power in a light boat like that. With proper tuning that thing will be a rocket. I'm surprised that has a v-8 I would have thought an old Iron Duke or 250/292 I-6.

The picture is the before. I tore it down and just got all the parts back from machine shop. looks like my weekend is going to be busy. I will try to post more photos later.

I noticed the engine cover was modified so the holly carb. and spark arrester would clear.

If you haven't done the heads yet make sure you have hardened seats installed. A good 3 angle valve job helps too.

Thanks for your input. Yes I installed the hard seats on my grinding machine, but had a friend's machine shop, boil and do the valve work. The engine is built, Now comes the hull work.
