Alex is the man! Strong work man. Buying my Holley EFI from him. Guys a genius! Those are a work of art.

I've got nothing but good things to say about alex. too bad both he and bob madara are so far away or I would have gladly let them do the actual engine work. ran into a small problem getting pistons but bob is on it. seems not too many companies want to say their product will survive the marine environment..lol well at least in this perticular engine. sadly once this motor is done I start in on the one for my bmw swap. I'm either a die hard car guy, or effin stupid... my wife has strong opinions on that...lol however i did win some brownie points as I bought her jewelry...

unfortunately you are correct! I've already spent about 15k in a engine build IN MY HEAD!!!!!! lmfao I keep going back and forth to just change my pistons and pick up a Weiand 174 or just go for the 502/572 but what the hell am I thinking. Maybe on the next boat! I'm just going to change to a Hydraulic Roller, just have to make that call to Bob Madera! Looks like she is coming along great. Keep up the great work and hopefully spring is around the corner! What have you come up with for interior?

Still not sure on the interior, I think best on the go... lol it will all come together as I'm able to work on it. Yeah engine builds can get super crazy very easy. I decided to go with weisco pistons, another shout out to bob for those. I can't get over how fast it all adds up. I really can't wait to get her out on the water again.

Yeah it's nuts, but all the money spent will be more than worth it come spring/summer! Bob Madera is a great guy to have in your corner! Can't say enough good things about my experience with him. When are you planning to finish up this build?

I was hoping this spring but... I may have it sea worthy by then but it wont be finished...lol I will still need to do a steering conversion to fully hydro and then an outdrive upgrade. the only hold up for getting it in the water this spring will be my exhaust. I may have to take up an offer on a set of aluminum manifolds if I cant swing the $2K for the lightning headers. I really hope I can get those as its a key part in the entire look of the build.

What are the PMC one s aluminum

I'm not sure. alex at haxby speed has some new take off ones that are aluminum. not sure of the brand.

Got some more goodies from marine kinetics. Again bob madara taking care of business. .. lol that cam is freaking awesome. I can't wait to see what this does on the dyno .. stay tuned... :)

okay I know I haven't posted anything new in a while. this is why I haven't been working on the boat... needed to build a place to work on it...lol the motor is almost done now and I was really busy working on my new garage.
