Looks great for sure, nice looking engine set up PLUS the fresh water cooling++. My buddy just picked up a 30 motion, after being under the dash I was really surprised how shabby the factory wiring is in them.. WOW

Once home, we knew the naturally aspirated engines would not be used, so it was decided to package the removed drives with these engines and sell them as a complete package. We had been told the engines were freshly rebuilt, and fresh off the dyno, but we decided to be certain the engines would be disassembled, inspected, put back together, and dynoed again so there were no surprises for the new buyer.

This package now lives in an ex race Chris Cat in Nebraska. A great friendship was formed around this transaction and we believe the buyer has been very satisfied.

Now to see about the the engines for our project. We started by disassembling the engine that had been dynoed.

The engines had many good parts, but the decision was made to make the following changes:

1) convert from closed to open cooling
2) replace stub rockers and guide plates with shaft rockers
3) replace Cola cranks with Bryant billet cranks
4) replace JE pistons with coated CP pistons in propriatary alloy
5) replace fluid damper balancers with ATI
6) replace wet sump oiling with 5 stage dry sump with Stefs pans and tanks
7) replace lightweight flywheels with heavier weight
8) replace MSD ignition systems with Crane Hi 6
9) upgrade lifters / pushrods
10) replace piston pins with casidium coated pins
11) modify intake manifold and supercharger set-back plate to improve airflow
12) change valve covers to KE for header clearance and spring oilers
13) install KE lifter spray bars
14) install piston sprayers
15) install lifter bore bushings
16) replace camshafts - it was found the original cores were flawed causing the lifters to run on the edge of the lobe

Two engines were assembled with these components, dynoed, re-wired and rigged for installation. Final numbers were a conservative 1002 hp @ 6 lbs.

Gino,
You provided excellent insight for owners of boats using the hull as a fuel cell. As you can see, this boat has aluminum tanks. I was just giving you a hard time for taking my story out of sequence.

Quinlin,
We agree, this package would have been impressive in a Carey. He was planning to use twin Arnesons ASD 10's with dual inputs. That big boat at 80MPH would have been quite a sight!

HotPursuit,
You know us too well !! Boat went to the water yesterday - more on that soon.

Fenderjack,
You are right, the wiring was awful. However, we were told it was not rigged by Motion in the beginning. Also, it was obvious the wiring had been changed or altered several times over time.

While engines are being finished, boat makes its way to Aircraft Paint Service for complete refinish. Once complete, the boat then travels across the airport to a shop that converts/upgrades private jets. The all new interior will be fabricated, then the boat will return home for rigging.
