Shot a quick video of the engine ready to go, just in time to winterize. Did most of the work, and all the paint in my garage.

Looks very sweet! Looks like your almost there!!!!!

Looks good , but run it on a dyno before you put it in . It will save a bunch of headaches later . Just my 2 cents good luck , Jeff

Looks sharp! Explain the thermostat housings on the valve covers?

the valve covers were on the previous motor when I bought the boat, and the guy put them on and it has long hoses with baffles in them, kind of a low tech breather. I does not look the best, but is functional for now. The holes in the valve covers are too large to cover with a conventional breather. I spent enought building the motor that another $400 for the valve covers I want is not in the budget so they will have to suffice for now.

nice, but do yourself a favor now, change the crossover to one with a by-pass and rub a 140 therm. I had the same set-up on mine stayed way to cold and built up a ton of condensation in the engine that would not burn out...Rob

Doing it your self that way theres no disappointments,wish I could paintlooks great,I like the orange

Dude . go to the classified section and buy some better looking looking and functional valve covers , after you install the engine , you'll be opening up the hatch all the time to show it off ... and you don't want those breathers on there !

The motor looks great. What's she going in?

BTW the silver and orange is a great combo.
