Let's see those engine compartments
 

Let's see some pictures of those engine compartments! custom rigging, custom paint, custom plumbing, you name it lets see it!

..painted hatch, and mirror plex on the sides to dress it up..otherwise just stock 700's.

I like the pict of my GF "cleaning my pipes.."

Ive got engine envy- Ive only got one....

Uncle Dave, Uncle Dave, Uncle Dave you rock!

Yes I agree, Nice angle :evilb:

This is how my engines looked when I bought her. I am now in the process of completely redoing everything. I started this thread mainly for ideas, so far it's looking good. Keep em coming!

Thanks Guys- !

Keep it up 502- itll get there.

VV- thanks and...

I noticed something while drooling at your rig (again)
Sorry if Im asking you to repeat, but I quickly scanned your build page again and didn't see an explanation.....On the port engine you've got a purple cannister on your port engine that on page 39 is clear, It looks like a sand filter I had that I used when I had a blown intercooled 540 I had-but I dont think so.... Youve only got one and it doesn't look like its plumbed to water- is that an oil accumulator, some giant powers steering fluid reservoir?

whatever it is- its a cool piece of hardware for sure.

The rest of the riders that day- that day I had these two in the ride as well- between the pipe cleaning and them- it was a great day.....
Check out the smokin hot Keller sisters- I also like the "hair venturi"

Uncle Dave

Uncle Dave ,, it is the Power steering oil reservoir !!

DD is correct Power steering. When you have two engines only one of them carrying the power steering. That is the engine that will break. Now the long trip back on one engine and no Power steering. :rolleyes: Uncle Dave most reservoirs are clear untill you add oil to them then they turn the color of the oil, in this case a mistic red. Like a glass or soumpen when you pour wine in it...:evilb: I have the same for the drives on each side, I have two drives, "one for the each of ya". Heee!

:eek:U use wine in the drives ??? HAHAHA:grinser010:

No but these reservoirs full of scotch would look cool behind any bar.

Ive got pipe cleaner envy :evilb:

Tell us more ! Is this your first boat? Where are you going to start first? Does your girl friend like going fast? In a boat?:ernaehrung004:

One of my three guesses-

Ive never had to decide how to plumb multiple engines (back to envy again!) but it makes sense, and of course that engine will always be the one that lets go.....

Part of what threw me off is that from these picts it appears the interior of the reservoir has a noticeably molded shape inside it. The effect of which makes the colored portion (fluid) appear to be an insert to the device like a drop in cartridge.....

502- all kinds of cool things you can do with what you have.

jeffman1000 funny!


Uncle Dave

Nothing out of this world but pretty cool for a 25 year old chappy.
:)

Here's some pics I've collected for the same reason you want to see them!

Some more:

Good Luck,
John

VV - Not my first boat but my first Offshore! I have a thread that outlines my ongoing project, check it out if you want! http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...n-ongoing.html

I also just recently restored my 1974 Tahiti Jet. That project can be seen here! http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/d...74-tahiti.html

and yes the girlfriend loves speed! :evilb:

Bilge Pics
 

Here's mine.

some Fords for variety :cool:

mmmm....

RAYLAR and ILMOR - Engine Pornogaphy! :drink:

Here's another - 632ci !!

and to think, this one nearly wound up in my Stinger 222!

WOW, a lot of bling...bling!

I have a question for you guys! Are you all running flame arrestor's? I thought some of the air cleaner's looked like they had traditional paper filters!

Looking great though! I am getting some great ideas :drink:

K&N does serve as a flame arrestor in most cases so a lot of people run them instead.

I run a normal flame arrestor though because I'm not cool!

Please disregard the "paper" in my last pice, that's just to stop scratches!

my other office........
 

outside of Benz.....

And so much easier to get around than the 850's!!

How are things Jeff?? Where can you get the mirro plex from??? I have a client looking ..... I couldn't get the name right - but your post jogged my thick skull.....

Take Care

Capt Ross

As Ghostriders says- the K&N marine filters- have a very fine mesh on them and are coast guard certified.

Im still giggling about the "engine porn" - funny- !
- and I dont even have a pornograph.

Ilmor uses the k&n and I had to have the coast guard "certification guy" drag his fingernail on it before he believed me-

Its very hard to see I even found a pict I took of the engine out of the rig pointed right at it and you still cant see it........(and threw one in of the pipes)


Uncle Dave

Dave, what did you paint the engine with? I mean what kind or brand of paint.

Thanks

Michael.

Good question- I have no idea. It came from the factory painted as you see it.

Ilmor basically allows you to customize the color scheme on the 700 and I picked the blue in the color catalog as its closest to the boat.

Uncle Dave

It sure is sweet. Can you find out what they used?

Maybe...

I got in contact with a guy named Scott Mount once about the seapump & impeller Ilmor uses - he was great.

I'll see if I can reach him again next week.



Uncle Dave

BTW- What are we looking at 2112 ?
(Besides the visual sweetness we see)

I love my BB ford products and have always been happy with them.

Kaase's Ford engines seem to be winning pop hotroddings engines master shootouts or places way up there.

Some of them are an absolute bargain compared to the chevy stuff comparing CI,HP,$ making an A$$load of torque.

talk to us...........

Uncle Dave

That would be great. That is some sweet paint.

All the Fords are 605 inchers. The single is with welded and port raised SCJ heads in a 24' Warlock. The side by sides are in a 32 fountain and have SVO A heads. The Cigarette is also A heads equiped and I am working on a set of Kinsler Fuel injected A head motors to swap in. The SIngle was 10:1 compression but the A-heads are just under 9:1. The Kinlser EFI motors will be 10:1.

The A-heads are 1985 technology but are the easiest to have headers made for (flow 460cfm/340cfm at .750"). The C-heads and the Thor heads are the top of the line. I am hearing the Thor heads Flow over 550 cfm right out of the box. :cool: They are tall and have their own exhaust port pattern so that could be a bear. :rolleyes:

Pics of Thor heads;

Awesome - 2112

Super sanitary rigging & clean execution- impressive.

Your rig must haul some kinda A$$-


Uncle Dave

Here is mine. Whippled and Raylared 496ho
