Here The heads are together bolted up.With using the Metal layer Fel Pro head gaskets I tried to make the head and block surface as clean and lint free as I could .The head gaskets have that soft rubber feeling stuff on them that attract any kind of stuff, It even shows finger prints in it .

Here I ck the rocker arm geometry with the new crane lifters,cam, and machining I figured it would be off. It was dead on in the center . ya can see the contact patch.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

I bought all new Crane Rockers also. Ck this out,Crane changed up the rocker from the stock 2001 500EFI to 2005. Looks a little different . They allready have the corners radiused :DCool


Note!! In the box on the new Crane rockers it said ck the treads on the polly lock for burs.It said if there is a tight spot in the ajusting nut to run a tap thru the thread in them . There was a lot of them that needed retapping :(

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

The tappets are alittle different also. The oil hole on the side and the plunger. Both are Cranes

One thing I noticed the innercooler fitting when ya put a Earls #12 fitting there the temp sender will not fit in the spot provided :( Had to put it in the thermostat housing :mad: It could of been put a little lower or in a different spot and it would of fit and been cleaner install.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

On the back of the intake there is a lot of stuff going on back there, atleast is hidden some . All the wiring will be bunched up here also :(

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Here some of the Whipple hardware , Nice stuff.

Also some of my plumbing stuff,Got to make it pretty even if it cant run :rolleyes:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Whipples mounted :D

The water neck I had made with the #12 bungs welded on so I can run the braided stuff on every thing .I just pollished the stainless bung and weld to blend in,


The bottom of the 3.3 Whipple , The screw :D

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

The 2 Whipple kits came in the boxes these 3 boxes very well pack with that expand a foam. Everything was bubble rapped , there wasn't a single scratch ,dent on anything .I was surprised how well they packed the stuff :D

The kits came with every thing you would need for a stock 500efi install . There was even some extra stuff. i even has some left over stuff. I ordered mine thru Mark at Precision Marine in Louisiana without the fuel system,diff pulleys etc.I knew I was going to run it on Marks Dyno and he was doing the ECM for me and the way he does it on the Dyno it exactly the same as it would run in the boat all the ascoryes , I even had fluid flowing thru the power steering pump.using my fuel system on the dyno meant I didn't have to touch it when I put it in the boat :D

The one thing wish Whipple did was Polish this plate. I ask Dustin he said I could not take it apart :evilb: Oh well :drink:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

One of the distributors has a hard spot in it. I took both apart and cleaned them up . the a bronze bushing I polished it up , lubed them and put back together.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

My MSD brackets I made out of stainless steel.Put the riv[blind]nuts in it . I had made them out of aluminum last year and the cracked and water spotted.

These mount right above the ECM on the stock mer 500efi bracket . I like it better there and it keeps the motor cleaner looking . Ive seen where Teague mounts his on the front of the motor :eek: This keeps the wires shorter and all the ignition in the same place :D and stainless bracket polished will look like chrome even though ya cant see it :evilb:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

:cool:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

The last pick you can see where it sits , the wire tye is holding the msd wires under neath. I will shorten them this winter and get rid of the wire tye :D

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Oil system

The oil pan, Its a Keith Eichert and the fel Pro one piece oil pan gasket needs to be trimmed . the rear main seal area is to wide . you have to cut the lips off the gasket for it to lay flat against the oil pan rail. I haven't heard anybody else having this prob. is it just me? :eek:This is the style gasket that came on it .It was trimed also

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

While I had the motors down I figured Id have the alternator gone thru they cked out fine just replaced the bearings. One ended up having a tight bearing

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Oil remote

Oil coolers ,fuel pumps,mounts ,Tilton Starters etc

Fuel filter mount . I found a Wix water seperator with the drain valve on it ,It flows 25 GPM :D I think it was 15 microns Needs to be in chrome :rolleyes:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

getting there :cool:

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Heres where I mounted my fuel pump and filter. I used the 500efi bracket cut it down turned it around . It is flush with the oil pan. so if U set it on the ground it would sit level. On the engine cradle the oil pan is about 2 inches off the ground . this makes the fuel pump easy to get to . mounted low so it doesn't have to suck so hard .As ya see no fuel cooler :eek:

I change the fittings in the Hustler tank they used hardware store style pluming pipe,but it was brass.At least it was 1/2 pipe :D I changed it all out to Earls fittings and high flow hose ends , all # 10 to the filter to the pump and up to the fuel rail.

The Whipple kit came with a new wiring harness for the fuel pump with a relay and fuse holder al water proof.This was a very high quality piece , good wires and it was long enough too.I mounted the relay on the bracket by the merc engine harness plug,Like it was made to go there.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

More pluming crap

Oil thermostat,lines etc

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

The back side looks like shet :( . I ran out of time this was 3 weeks before a poker run and still had to go to the dyno. i need to shorten some wire this winter, try to clean it up some .

Starter side ,I wish Whipple made a molded hose for this side .It shure would be better.

bout ready for the dyno

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Here is how I mounted the Fuel regulator/bypass.I figured this would be better than mounting it to the blower like some Ive seen :D A cleaner install!! It has a #10 union 90 high flow with 2 females on it. The union is the inlet. In the bottom is a #6 that returns back to the tank . No need for a fuel cooler, Its not dead heading heating the fuel and it goes back to the tank NOT the fuel filter.The vac line is boost refanced .It goes up about 10 psi under boost. On the other side it has the fuel pressure port.I wish someone made a decent electric fuel pressure gage for the boats :(

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Done .I was ready to go Dyno them , See if we could go blow these hand grenades up :D .

At this point Mark at Precision Marine was waiting on me , He said wear your rubber boots just encase. He also said if it blows I have to clean it up :eek: :D

Ck out my straps I made . They want scratch anything . like ya see most shops use chains that will scratch the blower and dig into the valve covers. These are just regular old truck 10k yellow tie down straps . like ya use on car ratchet tie downs. I took the flat style hook like they use on 18wheelers and cut the hook part off and drilled a hole for the bolt that bolts to the heads .The rear of the motor is heaver ,so that strap is shorter to keep it level.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Here is my post on spinning the Whipples.They sure make a lot of boost early in the rpm band :D

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

Which and what was don to your heads again? At .5-.6 lift there is In-300-345 and Ex-200. I think AFR and ported others will do almost 400In/300Ex at the same lift.

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

There stock heads with alittle clean up .The picks are back in this thread

Re: Hustler 500efi engine tear down & Build Up
 

How can you sleep at night knowing the MSD wires are hanging on the back of the engine? I would pull both motors and start over!

JK!!

They look great.
