I talked to Bill at ATECO and he recommended...

based upon what I want to do (I want torque and reliability), that I go .060 over and use a stroker crank resulting in a 496 cube engine.

I think I like this idea.

Any comments on this...

Engine bore...

I am going to have to rebuild my 454 unless I can find a good deal on something else.

It has already been bored .040 over. Is .060 ok?

On the one piece, they are marked on the back LH and RH.

For LH rotation, the suction hose goes on the one marked LH, and vice versa for RH rotation.

Now I am confused as hell...also a rookie...

so does all of this mean that when you drain the lower unit, you are also draining the outdrive and the reservoir bottle?

Alecsammy, the answer is YES and NO!!

You run the hot off the coil to 86. You run a 10 Gauge wire from a heavy battery source to 30 (such as the starter post that someone else suggested...I prefer directly from the battery post). You...

I was good until I read the last post...

I was going to run the tube to the flame arrestor, with a fitting directly into the top of the flame arrestor, but that means it will have a vacuum on it.
