This is an older pic but still love looking at this transom, artistry

No power adder, single carb, No EFI? brake twice daily MSD ignition? .. flame arrestor looks like it came from a 502 mag... That`s a race motor?

Yeah, I'm sure it needs tunnel rams and some custom grind cams blessed by the Chicago area boaters certification syndicate.

I do wish the engine spec for that class at least allowed fuel injection....Ill never wrap my head around building a new $700k boat and putting ancient technology engines in it.

I don't get that either, all motorsports look to forward technology, not go backwards. but a 9 boat field in KW will be fun to watch.

Even nascar is EFI now...
You're right though, it seems to be working!

I did not realize there were restrictions on the build. That make sense now. I`m sure it would have some PSI blower otherwise.
Seemed strange for such a badass boat to have those motors in it..

I think that`s supposed to be a dig right? I run of the shelf cams and live 40 minutes from Chicago so...

In many big chitties that may be only 5 or so miles out...
Used to enjoy driving to Seattle for the day , checking stuff out . Anymore id rather not deal wih the whole mess they have .
