Heads had to be shipped out to so cal diesel to machine the injector bores to fit LMM sticks. Turned out at the time no one had figured out how to delete the VATS in the LML ecm but the LML bottom ends were considered stronger with better oil squirters. So they are LML’s with LMM fuel systems. All stock internal except for AF cams.

Most of the rigging done. This is pretty much where I am today. Need to wire up engine harness and stand alone harness port engine. Reprogram ecm. Put back in boat. Tie in power steering. Install drives and hope the props are close to being right.
