A Little Update..
 
I am still here..LOL. We took the motors out appx a month ago. Upon teardown we found out that the motors had 2 different set of heads on the engines. One engine had stock rockers and the other some cheap chinese roller rockers. Long story short, The motors are back, all freshened up, and they now have dart Iron Eagle 308 heads on the engines, and new Edelbrock air gap intakes. I also converted the engines to hydralic roller since they were flat tappet before as well. We are installing the motors back into the boat tonight and hopefully be on the lake Wednesday evening breaking in the new motors. Oh, they are also 468ci. now as well. After the break in, I will then get some new props for the new found power. Should be around 1100hp total.

The motor are running and sounding good. Got the intial timing set and we added 2 new carbs as well. The quadrobogs were just not getting it done. The new cams sound great as well! Going to the lake this afternoon to get some time on the new motors!

The weather held out for us. The motors ran great!. The boat is running about 68mph @ 5000rpms. Motors are smooth and now its time to get some new props to get the top speed up a little higher.
