how many hours did you get before that refresh ?

300

Motors being taken apart. Looks like water damage found from reversion. Is it the cam, the exhaust, mufflers???

The engines looked good before being opened up!

When I purchased the boat it came with large muffler exhaust tip extensions. I took them off immediately but I'm wondering if they contributed to water reversion at some point.

Dry Exhaust would solve the problem

How difficult is it to convert to dry exhaust?

New pipes, new tails and a hole in the transom!! (Ear plugs optional)

honestly, pretty expensive given the cost of CMI Headers!!

Why new headers? He could just do tails.

Probably just put cams in with a wider lobe separation and make less power🥲

I would not do dry exhaust, Roberto.

No dry exhaust No

you’re right. Not sure what I was thinking!!

I always do dry to tip, seems to work well.

is it louder, sure but I do have a molded swim so it cuts it down some.

39 velocity? How did it run?

Making progress!

Stopped by Wesco Racing this afternoon to see progress. Blocks need to be honed, needs new rings, springs, valves, etc. Might be able to use existing pistons, cams, rods, cranks, etc. can’t wait to get these engines put back together, painted and dynoed! A lot of cool engines in the shop. Here are some pics:

Triple carbs on those blower motors?

What was the V12?

I believe the V12 was from Torque Engineering out of Elkhart, IN. I think the company only built a dozen engines before going belly up. Dave said he has three of them. The triple carbs on the blower motors came from a boat out of California. I thought that looked cool. Here’s a link of one of those v12’s on the dyno.
