I think we can say the same exact thing to you !!

Thank you.

New / different builds with shared info is totally appreciated. More high quality data / info is always better than less.

There is a lot of good info on my project with some photos that you might like to chech out over here http://www.crowniehq.com/forum/showthread.php?t=581

So any updates????

I don't think Blowncrown get's on here much, so I'll speak for him. He got it running, and it is working nice. However he left the stock cam in and the engine is laying down pretty bad at higher RPM so he's not getting much more speed than when it was a 350. He said it really accellerates a lot harder. I think he's planning a cam change this winter.

I've got a couple of similar projects here at the shop now. 2 carbed 383's with Whipples. I dynoed them at 575 each. Also just starting on building a 350 Mag into a 383 stroker for another customer.

Good talking to ya Bob, I'll see ya in a few weeks.

Bob said it all, cam and fuel pump upgrade over the "off season".

I didn't mean to speak for you Tom. Haven't seen you around for a while so I was afraid you wouldn't see it.

No sweat Bob.

I'll try and keep you guys updated as I get things done.

bobl, When you used the Crane 222/230 Crane HR cam, what idle rpms were you seeing in and out of gear? I'm leaning towards this cam for my new 355 build. I just hope I can get it to idle around 750-800rpms.

This is the same cam Merc uses in the Scorpion 377, although it is fuel injected. I haven't had this boat in the water yet, but it idled pretty smooth on the dyno. Using it in a 350 will be a little more radical. I ususally use the next size smaller cam in the 350's. So much depends on the heads and desired operating RPM.
