383 Blocks from Summit
Eagle rotating assembly (9:1 CR)
Dart iron eagle heads
Comp Camp XM276 hydraulic roller cam
Edelbrock performer intake
Rochester 750cfm carbs for BBC's
Aluminum exhaust manifolds
New alpha drives with heavy duty gearsets (1.47 ratio)
Stainless Mirage plus 23 pitch props
Each dyno'ed at 450ish. That's about the jist of it...taking it out again this weekend finally. Hoping to hit >70 if conditions are right. If you can pick one up with a solid hull and stringers I say go for it. I really like mine so far, other than the fuel consumption!

I was very tempted to stay with Alphas but with 6500 #s loaded and with traveling the open ocean between here and The Bahamas...running 50+ for hours at a time 50 miles off shore...I had to go with twin Bravo I's for piece of mind. If I was staying close to shore I would have gambled on the Alphas.

If your asking me I do not have a counter rotation prop setup, I have twin RH alpha drives, I have yet to see what she will do with the new motors in her. I have to wait till winter is over :-(
