Wait until you hear the screaming from under that hatch. My friends liken it to the gates of hell !!! It is very loud outside as you go by. It sounds almost like turbines.

No doubt people will be talking about it.:D:D:D

That is Elliott Sadlers house on the left as you enter with the 38 Fountain on the lift.

We'll e looking for you come May if all goes well.

Thanks for the heads up on E. Saddlers house. Good to hear he is in the go fast family (and I guess Baja now too).

Only got a warrning for stopping along the highway by exit 30. Like the cocktail cove as the police seem to not bother you as much there (at least from my experience).

Well they are coming along very nice.

I was down at Mark's shop yesterday morning to drop off some accessories and pick up the 500's and bring them back home and I took the following pictures of the long blocks and the Whipples.

They should be complete and ready for the dyno in about three weeks if all goes well.

Congrats Mark!!!! They look good.
Was there a reason you went with black instead of a custom color or someother color to match the boat?

Good question.

We gave it a lot of thought and did consider other colors but we would have been limited to BLUE, RED, White and BLACK.

What you have to remember is that with the Merc BLUE motors they are actually painted BLACK just like I painted mine. It is the intake, valve covers and the pulleys on the front that are blue not the actual block and motor.

With that in mind I did not want a color to take away from the pretty polished Whipples, the polished valve covers that will be going on them and the polished headers and the BLUE pulleys on the front of the motor.

It does not look that good right now, but just wait for the finished product!:D

My engines are going to look identical to this Teague 900 except that I am using BLUE pulleys.
