With neither engine having exhaust installed.

Wow !! That is an interesting looking build. Tell me more about the boat , Small blocks & what drives you are using. ect.....

ya is that a Cafe? is it remaining a stagger setup

Yeah, staying a stagger and it makes for lots of room for service with the small blocks. It was an old raceboat, not sure of the model but it is a paper thin kevlar layup. I'm pushing for Konrads but it looks like we may go with a pair of XRs' on box's.... the owner already has them and would like to use what he has for drives but we'll see.

That is going to make a really nice ride. I will be anxious to see some completed pics. Like you said will have a ton of room for working in the engine compartment.

i have the small blocks that are the whip new gm performance aluminum blocks 427 corvette make 650 efi 600 torquoe from 2500 up all day long naturally aspirated and lots lighter than big block complete around 30000.00 beat that
