Things I've been working on. Power steering tank, Dry sump tanks brackets, engine mounts. Mike at Island Racing gets all the cnc credit. |
Bad Assss!!!!
|
Any updates??
|
Finishing up engine mounts, took lowers off drives they are going to Wilson for blueprinting. Trailer is going back to Myco to be rebunked, sandblasted and painted. It was originally built for a fountain but it was modified to fit a cigarette. Island Racing is working with RFD on a new cylinder head to move our torque curve up about 800 rpm.
Business has been swamped so it has been slow progress on the boat. Will post some more pics soon. |
Dropped trailer off at Myco. Lower units are at Wilson's. Should be picking them up in about 3 weeks. Working with CMI on exhaust. Marked out holes on transom for pipes.
Going with big tubes 2 1/4 inch primary's, 5 inch tails. Dry to the tip. Shotgun setup. |
Decided on a cylinder head casting, going to use the brodix head hunter. We will get the castings without guides, seats and ports. Will have the castings polished then anodized. Then they will go to RFD for cnc porting and seats and guides installed. Will post some pics once we get them.

Not sure how the new photo uploading works, looks a little large on my phone.
|
Those things look awesome |

This is my favorite thread. Good thing like all projects it's taking longer than expected. Hopefully by time you're done I will have won the mega millions and buy it from then I'll have a well documented thread in the rebuild. Lol. Great work. |

Lazer alignment tool, to get crank centerline on forward engine. |
Refresh me again, what horsepower are you expecting out of these?
|
They made 750, before the upgrades. So we will have to wait and see. If I had to guess I would say right around 755.

We had brodix polish them they are being hard anodized blue, then off to RFD to be cnced. These have the offset runner in them so you have to run a offset in the rocker shafts.
|
Had to check the flow #s, intake is 490, exhaust is 340. They are 24B not 23B. My bad. Should be back mid week from being anodized. I'll post some pics when I get them.
