Finally got the engines in today! Outdrives in (thanks to OSO for the masking tape trick). Sorry for the bad pics, was kind of busy!

Took exactly one hour from when the wrecker showed up to when he wrote up the invoice.

Got a bunch of work tomorrow to finish up the installation. Will take more pics.

what did you put in for power

Pretty basic stuff. 468's, eagle rods, steel cranks, merlin heads. 71C's.

That tow truck driver was probably telling that story all weekend....

Congrats

Masking Tape Trick? For the rear engine mount paper washers?

Haha nice thats the Southenr way of an engine drop huh.

Thanks!

I felt kind of bad....the house across the street has been for sale for 1+ year. Just at the right time, realtor and prospective buyer show up and here we are, engine 6 feet in the air as the driver is maneuvering around the cull-de-sac. Sweet.

Feel bad! Hell, I LIVE for opportunities like that

Glad to see you're making some progress

----Whats the story on your Mistress? It looks familiar......Bill S

Bought it about 2 years ago out of Mobile, AL. Been chewing away on it ever since. I know the value of the boat so I have not been dumping $$ in to (couldn't even if I wanted to), just trying to keep it a sane project. I was hoping it would be a one year project...but ya know how that goes.

Yes, yes alot of us know how that goes....

keep truckin, it'll all be worth it someday!
