Yeah, he's kind of excited. He's building a spec house two doors to the south of my house and he's leaving early (like now- 3pm) to go play engine installer.

thanks fred,
it is all black with with custom airbrushed graphics and then clear coated twice. i will try and post a better picture tomorrow. there is enough room in the engine compartment for a conga line and blender drinks.
i also had 400 HP cyclones. i spoke with kamma and he was very helpful. i took his suggestions and am currently redoing the tops of the engines (still in the boat) and cams as i had a bad lobe and stuck valve.
the cam i chose is a comp. cams extreme 4X4 cam that makes tons of torque and good power to 5800 rpm's. they are ground 4* advanced already so i set it straight up. putting EMI thunders exhaust on as well. i rejetted the edelbrock 750's to 4% richer, may try 8% though. am turning 15X19's currently and it ran about 55mph before. the engines are close to 500HP each now as opposed to a real world 370 with stock crappy log exhaust. i will let you know what i picked up in speed. may 17'th the tractor trailer comes for it. i would like to find some 20" or 21" TRS cleavers to try but they have been hard to find.
i have two engine installation manuals, if you need one let me know and i'll mail it to ya. Fran

excaleagle42 - You want to try 15x21 overhub cleavers or thru-hub? Have both setting on the shelf. On my boat the overhubs were terrible getting on plane. If you want to try either set just pay the shipping and I'll send them. If you decide to keep them you can send me what ever you think they are worth (think cheap ).

ps- use [email protected] for e-mail, I think the auto-forward from my registered e-mail has died.

Fred i couldn't post a better pic because of the limit on size. i will e-mail one directly if you want.
the manual tells you how the x dimension was figured, wiring diagrams, and lube specs. it is pretty good stuff. Fran
