It ran 55 when I first bought it September of '13 with stock 330's. With mild cams, edelbrock air gap intakes, roller rockers, it ran 60mph at 4200rpm. We're now machining the heads for bigger valves and adding domed Pistons for 9.2:1 compression. My engine guy thinks we'll gain 130hp per engine. We still have the original cast rods and cranks. I thought of adding stroker kits and making them 489/496 or whatever but decided to wait til next year on that. Sorry, I know you didn't ask me all that.

130 a side should help some! I don't see why you won't be in the high 60's!! Glad to see you are also recovering well!!

Thanks, yeah I feel a lot better. I'll have to get different exhaust and more displacement to approach the speeds where you and rookie are.

what program are you using to do all the designs?

I am interested in the same trailer post did you make that or did you buy it if you bought it can you tell me where you got it and or part number
Thanks

Now that I finally figured out why I couldn't seem to get the engines to fit in the bilge and have the correct angle for the drive shaft I started the design of the custom standoff on the transom. I also plan to add the teardrop plates for the kaama's (mine are the early style without the plates). Standoff will only need to be 3.5" thick with a 1" teardrop plate.

Now the question is do I make the standoff out of plywood and glass when I redo the transom or have something made from aluminum ($$$)

Dude...you are a madman!

Jim, you amaze me dude!
You need pics and specs on my teardrops?

how much did tank cost you?

Thanks!

No need for dimensions of the tear drops as mine will need to be custom. I am already tweaking the design some as the transom extension needs to shrink by 1" in overall height so I can get 4 of them out of a single sheet of 3/4 plywood.

I will post the changes once I am done!
