Stainless screws and some angle iron should do the trick.

The doctor is in.

Both motors in the boat now. Outdrive alignment is good. Now we'll get busy with the details.

Default Hope it is okay to post my project on here, I still feel like I am AT family

update...WESCO square decked the blocks and added somes screens to the lifter valleys, (they were untouched by the previous builder) and I didn't want the Merlin III heads to go back on the engines without having some port work and mods done by "JimV"...full exhaust port, some chamber/unshrouding work and some special intake runner, bowl, and short side radius work done plus we went from a 2.30" intake valve to a 2.35" and we decreased the exhaust valve size from a 1.90" to a 1.88" and WESCO also surfaced the heads....

As soon as the tunnel ram gets back from getting ceramic coated this will be ready to drop back in the Jetboat. New 10 qt. pan with floating baffles and gold irridium finish from Tom at Jetboat Performance in California. Tom is the man on these old Jetboats

Did a little prepping and painting in the bilge while the motor was out. An old Jetboat is a labor of love. What do you think Drew ?
