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!

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

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)

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.

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.

(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...........

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. They are tall and have their own exhaust port pattern so that could be a bear.

Pics of Thor heads;
