abmotorman, I'd love to have your boat. I've worked on it before when the previous owner had it. If you ever sell please get in touch with me.

yes I was lucky to find this especially for the price that I paid. I would only consider trading at this point for something like 33 or 37. but that would even be tough, I really like the small blocks and plan on building some aluminum engines someday.

R Addiction 08-17-2011 09:32 PM

That would be my path also, except maybe not aluminum. Just some nasty sounding high winders:evilb:

A pair of LSx engines would be sweet!!

my thoughts exactly. I have a mustang cobra pushing 850 horsepower using a nova 2000 blower so super chargers are not out of the question either .

Thats all well and good but its not how fast you go.....It's how well you go fast!

Exactly, not trying to do something stupid here. Just before I start this process i'm going to take the necessary steps to make it stable as possible or just reconize it's resonable limits. Plus, I have enough money pits. Most likely this will end up with aluminum upper half 350's, with Nova 2000's blowers on them for better top end. Change out that goofy steering shock thing. Lastly, correct the Bravo weak links.

The weather reports deterred me from making the journey from Milw last saturday so we have decided to come this saturday. Any Active Thunders going to around? Any suggestions on river directions?
