I'll add a pic when I convert this engine over to the way it is going to be installed. Should look sweet with the stellings and different blower.

A lot of the interior is in. I am thinking about changing throttles and guage bezels handles etc to yellow. What do ya'll think. Or should I just use anodized blue? The silver steering wheel is going in. That is left over from my Magnum project. Definately need to change cup holders to blue and add a few.

I should have had the Nortech stiched back into the seats, but I can have it done later.

New bilge pumps are in, new blowers are in. Tails are pulled, ready for the 5" hole saw tomorrow and see if I can guestimate the correct location? Wish me luck. :coolcowboy:

It looks to me like everything is going to line up. KC told me that when he had it on his boat that the tails were just a little low of stock, but who knows if Velocity and Nortech use the same exhaust hole diagram??

I am gonna make 1 more call to Nortech Tech support tomorrow, and then I am just gonna have at it and hope we get lucky. :party-smiley-004:

Everything would be moving along a lot faster, but I had to go back to work for a little while and get some more parts money. More interesting things have been happening the last couple of days.

I cut the holes before I left town. I hope everything works out.

Of course, after the news I got today, there may be tall decks going in, so that changes things again as well.

Damn changing priority syndrome.

Well, except for a few parts laying around, every engine that I had is now sold. Just have to get them all crated up and out the door.

I will be going with tall deck something or other. Bigger displacement, but I am leaning towards a 4.25 stroke more than a 4.5" to try and keep the torque down and keep the drives together, as there is almost no way to avoid having to much power with these.
