Budman, am I putting things together right, that you are using Eagle cast stroker cranks?

I'm going to ask him about running a scat rotating assembly. Will my stock 8 at oil pan be ok? The only fuel I could get around me non ethanol is 90 octane. What compression should I stick with with those 049 heads

Stock pan and oil system good for a stock motor after that its time for some better parts.

yep - single engine.

This is twin engine boat

Sorry TB, looks like I walked all over your post. :hijack: Hopefully some of the info discussed with my build will be helpful for yours. If you are running a supercharged application where there could be more blowby to mess with oil drainback to the pan, along with a stroker crank, I would recommend upgrading to a 10 quart or larger pan. There is a lot of discussion on this forum about oiling systems, heads, cams, etc. There was a poster who goes by "ArcticFriends" who put together an epic thread about the ins and outs of properly setting up the oiling system for a high power marine engine. I would recommend searching for it. You als mentioned that you were talking to Bob M about cam design - he would also probably be a good guy to ask about other aspects of your build, like heads, valvetrain, etc. Good luck with it!
