Smoked 502 tonite
Wife and I were going to dinner and I smoked my starboard 502, in the inter coastal 2700 rpm, 50psi oil pressure, 21 psi water pressure, 250 degrees. Don't quite know what happened yet, felt the drag then engine quit, the dreaded Jamoca milkshake all over the bilge.
Wife not to happy, so Rosy will be my friend for a while.........LOL
In all seriousness I would like to rebuild to blower motors, rebuild the short blocks to basically stock configuration, use 8/71 roots style blowers, no inter coolers and under drive about 20%. I don't want to get to crazy and go much over 650 HP.
Really looking for advice on cam and carb configurations, trying to get some dependability out of this and don't want to upgrade drives, it's a 32 Fever.
If anybody has built a nice combination please share.

I did both mine this past winter with Bob. Was shooting for 650, they went 675is with 715 tq. Really nice motors. They weren't cheap but less expensive than blower motors. Bob is definitely the guy to talk to as well as buy the parts from. You'll also get a helluva education about making power along the way if you so desire. He'll take all the time you want to explain why your'e spending your money on this part or that part rather than else where. He's a gentleman and a real pleasure to work with. Do yourself a favor and call him. You won't regret it. BTW, my stuff is on file with Bob under John Cook, not that he'll need it but you might want to mention it being 650 is what your'e looking for. If you like to talk on the phone you can reach me at 901-491-4500.
