Yea you wanna pull out your pickups, here are mine off my 42' After all these years that slag never ended up in the fuel pump :daz:

Seems like that is what has happened more then once already with so called reputable engine builders and the original boat builders that we all seem to believe is the greatest on earth.

Pretty funny. There is always a new weak link.

Here are a few pics as the engines are getting ready for dyno. We don't have all of the oil plumbing on since we run an Oberg (washable) oil filter on the dyno. We have one of them on and ready to run. We fired it and ran it in for a few minutes. It still needs a little more break in time that we will do on Monday. We were all beat and called it an early night for a change.

We will have some numbers and video to post on Monday.

The first 2 pics are before and the last 2 are current.

Sorry for the mismatched, ugly valve covers. We weren't about to put the pretty ones on for the dyno. They will get changed out after we are finished on the dyno. I haven't seen them but I'm sure that Scott Coile (littledcsrodshop) will do an incredible job, as he always does.

By the way, anyone looking for some paint work, he is your guy. He is as talented or more talented than the big name guys. The only things he doesn't have are the ego and the price of the bigger names. He has done several jobs for me that he has had full artistic license to do what he pleases. As I'm sure some of you can tell, I'm VERY picky about my stuff. I build and rig them all as if they were my own. I didn't give him any requirements, ideas, etc. I just let him roll with it and he has blown me away on every one of them, and I'm not that easily impressed. I'm sure that this one will be no different. I'll let ya'll be the judge.

Here are a few more before and after. I'll have more on Monday. Enjoy.
Eddie

Forgot to mention that the white coil spacers will not stay that way. We have powdercoated black ones that need to go on. They just weren't finished in time. I buy them white because that's all I have been able to find. ONce they are black you won't really even see them.
Eddie

Wow man.....I Mean....phucking WOW!!! They look so effing good Eddie. I cant wait to see them in the boat...and hear them...and run them.

Neat as a pin they look just like mine only blue .

Does that mean you like them?:evilb:

Just wait til they are all done with the valve covers and all the finishing touches. I'm quite sure you will be pleased.
Eddie

They are pretty much exactly the same as yours, except the 3.3L and the colors. Hell, I even started with the cal. from your engines.
Eddie

I like the valve covers that are on them right now...mixes things up a bit.

I aspire to be Dean in so many ways....:evilb: At least I can have his tune...:lolhit:

Yes !!!!!!!

Makes me feel all fuzzy inside he he

are we getting a room or waiting for dyno numbers, here? back on topic "gentlemen"

Oops....sorry...lol...Dean gets me all worked up sometimes.

Eddie should have numbers on first pull tomorrow PM. Ok...lets start making guesses on HP....lol. Motors will be run on 91 Octane.

1. 925-950
2. 950-975
3. 975-1000
4. 1000-1025
5. 1025+
6. Total Meltdown Chernoble Style

Place your bets gentleman....place your bets. The winner gets to the dubious distinction of guessing the HP on the unluckiest boat in the history of boating. Which in turn started the longest running, most random post thread in OSO history. What an honor!!

God I love drinking on Sunday afternoons!!

If he melts one of them down Eddie will cry.

my stab

1100 :helmet:

1055:daz:

1060

If/when one of them breaks, I'm gonna do a lot more than cry.

Do I get to play??? Wanna know what my guess is?

1085 @ 6000.
















Eddie, correction factors adjusted to conform please :)

I wanna play too, but I don't remember were these hydraulic roller or solid roller?

Hyd Roller...What you thinkin?

NO...unfair advantage. :evilb:

1107, that should be a lucky number!

Dave

Eddie, do you dyno fully dressed with belts, pumps, power steering?

I dont think Eddie dynos NAKED it would be a catastrophe !!!!!!!!!:lolhit::eekdrop: Oh wait he would be naked he would have those dammed yeller shoes on .

I walked outside a few minutes ago and heard a hum off in the distance........ well?

1064hp

Update:

First motor is broke in. Eddie is now doing Driveability tests from 2000RPM-4500RPM. Said all was good during break in. After drivability tests he will do some pulls....naked. He told me he usually has the "throttle" in one hand and a picture of Dean in the other.....you can draw your own conclusions.

You are way to funny , this is otta hand no pun intended . You did meen broke in not broken ? are you excited ? are you there or in KS ? did you sleep last night NOT ?

Yeah man...Im totally pumped. I haven't slept for weeks.

Im at home in MO...not KS. Homos live in KS and root for KU....:angry-smiley-038:

I used to live in Neosho. Then I decided to move to Cali. because they have a great hockey team...
I can't wait to see your video making a pass a WOT w your topless better half ..,

My wife used to live in Neosho. lol

Ouch...I grew up in KS. I'll be back in a couple months...we can test that theory.:lolhit:

Just a quick update.

We finished the drivability. Everything worked great. We attempted to make an easy pull to only 5800 rpm. However, it rapidly ran out of fuel pump. With less than 7 psi of boost and only 5800 rpm, it still managed to make over 950 hp. We are headed back on the dyno in the am with a Weldon pump so we can pull it to where it needs to be.....about 6200-6300 rpm. I was trying an Aeromotive Eliminator pump. They have an Aeromotive A1000 in the boat now. The Eliminator is quite a bit larger than the A1000, so there is NO way the pump in the boat is even close to being large enough. I'm sure that contributed to some problems in the past.

I'll keep you guys posted as we make some pulls.
Eddie

Wowie cZowie. TRL for once I wish I was you, ( except the WS of course):D
