92 270 Baja Re-power & Updating Thread
 

So I started this project a while back (3 years ago and I thought I would finish it in one summer...boy was I wrong)and Im just now starting to post some pics of it. I have re-powered from the gen 4 502 to a 509 roller motor with a 1071Mooneyham blower, Lee performance intercooler, 2 1050 Dominators...ext. I completely removed the back seat, dash panel and all the stock baja gauges and threw them all away and started new. The pics start late in it the build but here it goes...

My dad had a '91 model 270 back in the day. I had forgotten about those footrests. Boat looks good, when's it going to be up and running?

I have a '92 270 that's all original except for the motor.

Can't wait to see the finished pics of your boat!

I plan to be up and running(testing it) in 3-4 weeks. my hatch and back seat will be heading to get covered today. I will be finishing my dash today/tonight and primering tomorrow.

joe nice jop . i like wt you did to the back seat i am going to copy you on the setup thanks i got 3weeks before mine ready.

We'll be over for Contraband next week. May be back in August for the Calc boat club poker run, hopefully get to see it then.

I plan to be up and running in 4 weeks.....we will see. It's always something.

But yea that would be cool.....

Here is a pic from a few months ago when we just installed the motor....take note to the floor in front of the crank pully. The gas tank was removed and shorten 5" and the fire wall was cut and moved foward to be able to install the blower... In the stock app the wall was only 1" away from the crank pully

I have everything plumbed with the motor in at this point and I will post some pics of that when I get a chance....

I gotta ask... Is that 8 holes in the seat for 6x9's?
