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. 
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.

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.

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.
