Congratz, nice look'n motors! Goodluck w/ your new venture!

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. I am really proud of the look and the performance of the motors. I put every thing I have into each and every motor so it is great when it all comes together.

Smitty,
It wasn't so much the elevation as it was absolutely horrible weather to make power. It had been raining for 3 days straight and we were pulling air through an open door about 3 feet from the motor. We were actually pulling rain in with the blowers in the room. After a pull, the side of the motor was soaking wet. The sensor for air temp and humidity was right on top of the carb, so I am confident in the correction. The barometer for the 3 days never got above 28.40. Coming from La., you get used to big corrections with the weather there, usually 100 degrees with 200% humidity in the summer. The ultimate dyno is the boat, and I am confident that the motors will do what they are supposed to do as far as speed is concerned.

Old School,
The lifters in these are Morel's. I have had excellent luck with them in the past. By the way, that is a REAL one year warranty, no BS. I stand behind them 100%.

Open,
It has and will continue to be a long, tough road. I have had so much happen in the last year, it has got to be about time for something good to happen. Thanks for your concern, I really do appreciate it.

Thanks to all, Eddie

Thanks for the straightforward answer,I'm sure it will be a good runner,Smitty

Good to see you back in the biz Eddie! Nice set up and great looking piece. Best of luck!

No problem Smitty.

Mark,
Haven't heard from you in a while. Sooner or later you will have a pair of my motors. If I can do anything meantime, please give me a call.
Eddie

Yeah, I figured I'd let the dust settle on your move before I bothered you...

And I am shooting for sooner than later.

No bother at all. The dust has settled. Say the word and we can rock and roll

I'm thinking something in the 1200 hp range What do you think???

Thanks.

And easy there - not sure I'm ready for that kind of juice in the bilge. I'm thinkin' a bit more mild, maybe 650-ish - not lookin' for those 15 hr. oil changes and buying fuel by the 55 gal. drum just yet in my life.

Just glad to see you back into it - we'll talk when the time comes for sure!

Young Performance -

What cid's are these engines ?

I do some work with HVH in Knoxville, TN. What town are you in? Is it semi nearby , by any chance ? It may be worth a stop in next time I go to visit them.

SB,
These motors are 598ci. I am in Mt. Juliet, which is about 15-20 miles east of Nashville. If you have the chance, please stop in any time.
I am new to the area, so I am not sure how far Knoxville is. I think it is about 2 hours.
