Roger, show them how nice yellow can look on an engine----go ahead and post a picture of your engines here---I think they look pretty hot! Hey, last year I was in South Haven for the 4th of July and it was awesome---wished I had my hog in the water and I was thinking of possibly hanging out around St. Joe/South Haven for the 4th of July again this year only WITH my puddle jumper. I am hoping Doug's Cover Girl will be back in the water by then.

Ian/Patriot, looks like several of us will be in the water here pretty quick. I am quite sure it will be the other way around---your boat will certainly handle much rougher seas than mine.
Dyno, Looks like you're up to bat. I stopped in at WESCO's shop today, and saw your blocks all machined, and in plastic bags with your cranks, pistons, etc sitting there ready for the engine stands. I am sure he will start assembling them ASAP. I will probably have mine out of there by Tuesday or Wedensday of next week, put the headers on and plug them into the boat.
Hey Vette/Craig---thanks for your optimism, but we dyno tested my engines with my raw sea water pumps, and alternators, and didn't quite make it to 900hp---I know you were kidding anyway, but I must say they DO have a smooth sweet ilde for a 565cid ---about 750rpm or so in neutral. I have the MSD crank trigger system, going through the Crane Hi-6M ignition boxes. Where ever you set the timing, that is where they stay! The timing never moves like the pick-up will have the tendancy to do a bit in a distributor, so I think it may aid a bit in idle quality.
