Default 85 Mistress mid summer repower.....:)

My 85 Mistress has 460 MArk IV engines with a few small mods, ran a best of 64.8 one time, I wanna see over 70.... anything over 70 will make me happy...

So, I grabbed a buddys old boat that has 565CI 600hp engines, aluminum heads and all the good stuff, made approx. 650 ftlbs waiting on dyno sheets in mail from last owner...TRS boat...

I am going over a few thin gs and making them the way I want them, using my crossovers, exhaust and such.... ran boat home from island yesterday and had engines out by 10PM.... hope to be back in 2 weeks....

last slow drive by..... 60mph flat water....click first pic for slow video, at least shes LOUD... lol

Good luck with the re power. 70 is plenty fast on the Great Lakes 90 percent of the time.

Force should hit over 70, cherry picker wouldn't do it when we pulled 502's out. My project is moving slower than I want. Wifes busting my balls about not running this year. Going to look at a 72 magnum sport this Sunday boy she's gonna be pissed but she didn't say what we were going to be running in!!! The stuff we do to keep our better halfs happy.
