I made some pretty good progress over the holiday. I got my parts back from the carbon fiber guy and got all of the drive together. I also polished the headers since they were a natural finish. I am waiting on my oil filter set up from Teague and a few hoses. The next step will be to put it in the boat.

Extremely nice looking motor.

Looking forward to hearing about how the boat runs now.

Very nice looking motor Let us know some numbers when you get them

I finally installed the motor last sunday. I hope to spend some of the holiday weekend working on some of the rigging. I need to have exhaust pipes made. Who did some of you guys use? CMI, Imco, Teague? Sorry for the crappy pictures, I was in a hurry

Here are a few more pics of the progress. I have all of the fuel plumed along with the water on the starboard side. I had to fabricate an aluminum bracket to mount the oil cooler in front of the motor. It is a tight fit and is offset to keep the water hoses inside the stringer. I will polish the bracket when everything fits correctly. Imco sent me some collectors for the headers so I can fabricate the exhaust from PVC. They will take my templates and fab them in stainless 4.5" pipe. I am going to switch out my tips to 4.5" so I can keep the pipes dry all the way to the tip.
Next up, plumb the oil lines and oil filter and fab the templates for the tail pipes.

How did the carbon dipped parts turn out? I'm thinking about getting some done

Mitch had some parts done for us on our latest Raylar/Whipple 496 project and they truned out fabulous!
Some of the coolest Bang for th Bucks!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Thanks Ray, I agree some of the best bling for buck you can get.
