One of the hearts
Finally got all of my parts for the engines replaced or rebuilt. I changed to Dart Pro1's and had to figure out and order all new valvetrain because the heads are taller. This one took 30 hrs the next one will take 10 to build. Still have at least 2-3 weeks to go! Soooo glad I didn't sell the the old 302 Formula.

Andy, I see 3 engines, you're not trying to trick us are you? All kidding aside those look badd a$$, you're doing a hell of a job keep up the good work. Are those the same oil pans that came out of the boat? They look pretty deep. Curious- How much $ was the upolstry work you had done? VV

They are the same pans that where on the engines , I think they hold 12 quarts. My interior was supposed to cost me $3,200 including a cockpit cover with $2,500 up front. Now its $3,500 just for the interior, and am still waiting for the rear bench seat. I gave this turd my interior January 4th and told him I wanted it by May 1st. I am having a hard time not freeking on this little ***** but when the job is done and I have everything in the shop I'm gonna biotch slap him.

Interior finally done. I splained (like Lucy)to the guy, that I wasn't too happy with his 8 month delivery time and he should reduce his price for mine and his(mostly his)pain and suffering. He was fine with that and dropped his price to $2,500. One more engine to build and I can put this *****h together. So much time was waisted while waiting for Joey dikwad that I got one of my body guys to repair and fill any stress cracks on the boat and my wifes face, just kidding sweetee incase you read this. I hope for 2-3 weeks max untill this whore is splashed but you never know...
