I received my parts from Livorsi today that I had sent to them for powdercoating. They look great, I'm anxious to get back to work on the skater

can anyone guess the parts?

Beautiful! I have been following for months. When is it going to run and how fast you expect? 120mph+?

i want to have it ready to run by the end of may, then the fun begins.
I'm looking forward to the dial in. It will be interesting to see the top end numbers initially after break in, prop selection, and start making the adjustments to engine height. According to John Robinson (previous owner that last ran the skater with the triple 2.5 set up), it would run 110-112 all day with labbed 15x32 three blade merc cleavers. I would like to get a full set of 15 x 34 three blades and use those to dial in. mid 120s would be good
As of right now all I have are the original 15x32s. If anyone out there has 4 merc 15x34 3 bld cleavers i'd be interested.

That is fine and would love to see them as not many people have ever rebuilt or restored anything in their life other than stoke a check and then turn key . I'm sure most of us would be appreciate any pics so we can learn and take notes
