I just stole that pic for facebook hahaha. I finally ran my boat yesterday. Ran for 3hrs and snapped my 3rd water pump belt as I was idling in. It never ends. Happy 4th Gater, hope she's running soon!

Here's a couple more motor pics. Exhaust gaskets should be here tomorrow. Plan on running her in the shop on Saturday. I'll try and post a video if I can figure out how. Getting amped to hear her run.

Outstanding!!...did we ever figure out what carburetor you have?

I'm trying to run both of mine this weekend but keep running into things that I forgot...like fuel pumps!!

You actually are gonna run 'em????:evilb: looking forward to the good news of a couple healthy sbc's!

Gator, is the a 502? (Too lazy to go back and read) what are you expecting hp/speed wise? Looks great!

InstaGator 07-06-2012 05:54 PM

I don't know maybe 350 hp and 50+ mph if I'm lucky...

Hope it runs mid 50's! I know my baja will run right at 60 with my 330hp 454. So I bet with your slightly bigger hull and a few more hp, you can hang mid 50's. Granted I have either a bad gimbal bearing or u-joints so I'm not going anywhere...

I got the motor running today. Still have some tweaking to do. Jets are to big and other minor stuff. I couldn't mail the video for some reason. I did post one up on FB. John Sixpack OConnor if you want to hear it run. Check out my FB page.
