Truth be told, It is almost too much. I personally think a couple of all auminum stroker small blocks would be a better fit. Big Block Fords are the same as a tall deck Chev with Big Chief heads. They are physically big and (with steel crank and rods) heavy and the 32 Fever has an issue with the way it sits in the water at rest or idle. Yup, less weight combined with decent power would be better way.

Maybe my next project??

Nice spread!!
I could understand the love of the car - not sure why you bought it, but for some reason always wanted one.
I'm starting small with a go-kart I just picked up, but I see how it could elevate. I don't even know why I do this stuff.
Maybe self torture.
Or an addict looking for a fix and hasn't found the right one yet. - Or the right mix of them.
My true love is still classic offshore boats.

Joined with a 40 Fountain icbm (hence id name) with blower motors. Sorry no pics on this computer. Then came the Hustler Slingshot with 500's and whipples. Next was the Gladiator which we still have now along with the 34 Sutphen.

thanks for the kind words Tim......the thing is my buddies with cars can get them out on the first whiff of a warm day like 60 degrees in the end of March or so around here........ where with a boat the water doesnt warm up and it doesnt stop raining much earlier than the 24th of May/early June......same on the other end of the summer
Plus a guy I met here on OSO (Resurected) owns a paved stock car track nearby and Mosport Park is about .5 hrs from here......I'll always have a boat.....probably the one I have:rolleyes::D.....but nothing can beat a boat in the heat of the summer, the hotter the better.
