Power: SBC's 377 de-stroked they are at the engine builder right now getting freshened up. Depending on how bad they are & how much $$$ they might get a pair of Weiand 177's. My engine budget for this year is 6-8k. That might have to wait till next winter. Should still be a solid 550hp each without chargers.
Est. 700hp + with small chargers. (same charger the as 525sc's use)

Update: Huge THANKS to Livorsi
Got all New Livorsi Gauges today. Original plan was to restore the existing ones, after testing most were not fixable or just to old & would not match any that had to be replaced. After a few emails I was able to %100 replace the entire gauge cluster with new ones for a very reasonable price!! The biggest kicker was the GPS speedo was the old style, the tacks were off by 400rpm, fuel pressure & oil pressure had been over pressurized at some point. Now I have to update all the wiring to the new style "quick release " style plugins.
Ill post more pics one installed. Hope to finish the dash this weekend with any luck

Love it when UPS stops at my house!
My wonderful girlfriend Katie bought this for me today.
Sony Marine radio has aft mounted controls for those long days at the sandbar, no need to climb in & out of the boat to play with the radio!

Thanks guys, I thought it could use some color. The dash is so plane & ugly I think it helped a little bit, not the coolest dash Ive seen but it will work!

Got the radio all mounted & wired in the dash. Here is a pic of the outside "sandbar" controls. This is gonna be nice!!
I need to adjust it just a little bit still before I glass the hole in.
