I removed the intake, and all accessories,stripped and blasted all the parts and repainted and powder coated everything to match the colors of the boat. Bought some Eckert valve covers off of ebay and powder coated them. Just have to install the oil and power steering fluid coolers and water pump, then install the wiring harness and I am done. Tell me what you think.

I think it's nasty. Way to ugly to go in your boat. Why don't you give it to me and we'll just drop it in my boat...




:D

:D

that's funny, I have never even had it in my boat. Actually I have never even ridden in my boat. But as soon as it comes home from Florida and has an interior this baby is going in. And I WILL splash it. Three years and now I am Finlay close to being able to get on the water again

Well, my boat hasn't seen water (other than rain on the deck) in 2 years... so I still say just send it up here. I'll send you two motors for it... neither run (one could with a little work) but then you would have 2 motors and I'd only have one. Seems like a good deal for you.... at least it seems like a good deal on my end!! LOL!!

Hey I resemble that remark!!! :mad:

But, if he built it right, there should be no problem. Just think of me as a dyno without the printout. If there is something wrong with it, I'll find it!!!

No, the Magnum will not be back home until the middle to the end of next month. Then I have to bust my but to rig it and have it ready to race. I am hoping to make Sarasota my first race on the 2 of July

Looks good!! Are the KE 2pc valve covers there for quick access to adjust lash on a nasty solid roller?
