Hey tripps,
It is certainly more fun to bolt things back together.
I am getting quite the education, being that this is only my second big block project. First with a roller cam, first with fuel injection...
tripps, are you working with ZZ on his project?

Pat,only mentally! ZZ's a quite capable ,creative mechanic,but if he ever needs anything,he's got it! Some times it's easier to do it yourself,thisway you only have yourself to blame for errors,and there is no time pressure to get it done when you are thinking about what to do,but on the otherhand,2 thoughts are better than one. I like to do things myself,but sometimes you need muscle to lift powerheads off the workbench or out of a car. And since i turned into a outboard mechanic,i'm still learning about them,but i still love BBC's Tripps

Hey tripps,
I am learning to love Big blocks too, but the $$ compared to a small block buildup.....
I have built a number of small blocks, and sometimes think I maybe should have gone with a sbc when I bought my Superboat without power.
Too late now...
I just better be able to out run JMK with his small block powered 2001 24' Superboat.
Oh, did that sound like a challange?

I would flip the switch at 6000 goin 90 and instantly go 1000 rpm more and maybe 10 mph faster!!! Intrested??? Tripps
