454 to 509 fuel line
hey guys
i just did that engine swap in my 88 sport 226,built a 509,dynoed at 612 hp,it is ready to rock in the boat just have to put the outdrive back on(bravo one) and engine hatch(sunpad) and fire it up,i also am running the 3/8 fuel line and should have no problems,also i install a n auto meter oil temp gauge to keep an eye on things since i reused my stock oil cooler,also installed an auto meter tachometer for some more accurate rpm readings,should be fun.

hey baja bob
ya i think it will fly,for sure a cool toy,it worked great with the stock 330hp,but i love to have ballzy toys,so i had to change some things,goes along with the other toys.anyways i am going to put my 24pt bravo one prop on it for the first go but i am thinking i will need a 27-30 pt prop when i see how it works,motor is built overkilled so i think it will be pretty tough,it looks awesome also but can not figure out how to post pics.

Oil Coler
HAY AK
just a note i lost the entire season last year motor went south rebuilt and used the old cooler and sure enough dirt in the crank and it was all over. after that every one i spoke with said never use a old oil cooler over.

hey richard
what do you mean dirt in the crank?how did dirt get in the crank?all my buddies have used their factory cooler with no probs but if anyone will have a problem i hope it is not me,i have spend a lot of money since oct on this,i do have another cooler but it is huge and i wanted to try this one first.
