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.

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.

Does that mean you like them?

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

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.
