Just a freshen up. No big improvement except longevity (I hope.)

I'm just trying to keep up with the metaphorical AT Jone's like Las, OCD, Flenner, Raddiction, Tfarmer, you Rick Steiny and the guy with the blue light special stereo (Probably no keeping up with the blue lights though, way ahead of his time).

Busy day yesterday. Both engines are dynoed, broken in, oil changed, dressed out, and ready to put in the boat. Finally getting close to the end of my winter project.

First motor was 637hp at 5600rpm. The second motor was 12hp shy of that. I am very pleased with how things turned out. I tried to upload one of the dyno runs but it wont go threw. I guess the file is to big.

I'm all ready committed to another run on the same date as JOTJ. I promised James I was going to bring "Hyper Active" back one day. I'm shooting for 2011.

Thunderstruck, I use to use the stock pickups like you got here
and I would have to tig weld the rorund screen part to the tube
and then the tube to the pump. It looks like it would be the time to do it.
I learned the hard way. I have found a few laying in the botton of the pans on engines that were just getting freshened up also.
Good luck with your build. Timmy.
