Just stumbled on this thread Awesome job Sir! you certainly have to be very proud of your boat. What a wonderful job, were you able to get the bugs worked out this fall? and if so what was the results for top speed?

Hi all, thank you for all the compliments. I had a head come a part so I am headed in a new route with a new set of heads, cam, rockers, valves, springs etc. I will post some pics as the build progresses.

Well, it's been a while since I last had an update. I have not worked on the boat in a long time. After a valve broke I basically removed the motor and took off the valve cover to see what happened. Since then we relocated to a different state and bought a new house. However, I am happy to say I will be headed back to Michigan at the beginning of May to bring the boat and engines to their new home so I get started on the engine builds. I will post some pics of the progress. Not certain which direction I will take this build, I have been thinking about twin turbo's in place of the super chargers but we have to see where my creativity takes me!
