Jon,

If you post or PM your address, I will take some 35mm photos and mail them to you as soon as I can.

For the rest of you, I will try to get something posted in the near future.

I can have the local sign shop make these up, but I was looking for the real deal ... like say off the F-16's or other military aircraft. Anyone have connections or ideas where I can get something like this?

I'm sure Ryan Beckley could make them up for you, he's a member and I think advertises on OSO. He's awesome at graphics, etc.

On my 357 with B&M 174s the hatch had to be raised only slightly and only in the back. it is tight but it clears. If you look at the back of the pic under the hatch you can see a very simple way of raising it with a piece of aluminum. Mine also has small wood blocks to raise it a bit further. it was like this when I got the boat so I haven't chenged it. It works fine. But, if I were to do it over I'd get a bigger piece of aluminum and not use the wood.

B-Ford: There are two concerns that I can think of. One is the clearence of everything. The other is actually getting all the air in there that you need to create maximum hp :D:D

Here are the pics of the hatch scoops from the back view... It's the only pic I currently have of them. Can't see them in the side pics I have available.

RedDog, what horsepower are those babies putting out and what did the 311 run for top end when those motors were in that. Just curious. Thanks.
