No this will be our first time on the run... I really feel like we will make it! I feel really good about the machine work now! Joe addressed all my concerns from Nortech (Daryl Hameetman's) previous machine work that was done

That's great!!!

Nice boat man, and lots of nice work.

I to love a good thread, with lots of pics and dicriptions of what is going on, and what we are looking at.

OK, we have the rest of the valve train parts from Bob Madara!!

These are Custom Billet Steel Gen 6 (4,7,3,2) Swap Fire Cams!! The Firing order was changed to smooth out the harmonics in the bottom end. The new firing order is 1 8 7 2 6 5 4 3. You can see cylinders 4 7 3 2 were swapped from the original FO.

Yes this stuff is going into Mark IV Blocks!! I will show you how it's done when I get the blocks back from Fast Forward Marine/Race Engines!

What blowers are you running? what snouts? Can you post detail pics of your blower pulley, and serpentine pulleys, and setup? Also, the blower belt tensioner?

I was looking over mine last night, I need to revamp some things and needed some ideas. Who makes a nice tensioner setup for the 420 Megablower???

Thanks.

Nicely organized garage.
