HDriderTH · « **Reply #2 on:** October 07, 2007, 09:08:43 PM »

...and mo pics. More to come as we make progress. Boat feels good and sound, floor looks good. Got most of the parts, tach tube on deck, seats n shit, block, crank,rods, cam heads. Need somebodies old headers we can cut down, sandblast and BBQ black. Got NO money in this thing yet! We also need an oilpan s if anybody has parts for free or cheap..or trade let us know. Just having fun with it......

Yeah, those pictures are very big. When I click on 'em I get about 1/8 of the thing.
I was going to say Stevens or Brendella?

hotrod56cars · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2007, 12:40:52 PM »

Maybe this will work better...

old rigger · « **Reply #13 on:** October 09, 2007, 01:38:32 PM »

much better, both of my original guess's were wrong going by those gunales. From the front, the bottom looks just like my old Buck Smith. That deck has me stumped'

anyone seen this post on craigslist? Don't know who Taylor was back in the day, if it was the same tayor in the 70's but it's pretty cool project. I really like the transom.

Quick thread jack, I don't think HD will mind, how fast will a well built 327 move that flatty?

old rigger · « **Reply #16 on:** October 09, 2007, 03:11:40 PM »

I have no idea, why would you want to go fast in that thing anyway? It'd be cool just to cruise in.

Thats the idea, just a mild 454....looks fast. I got my Sanger but I'm kinda getting a local kid into this, show him theres other stuff to do then go to bars and/or drink all night in the parks...just a matter of time. The boats pretty much all there and it's low buck. The guy is a good kid, if we can save just one......it's all worth it, right?

HDriderTH · « **Reply #18 on:** October 09, 2007, 03:33:56 PM »

The kid says he aint riding in mine again anytime soon, I guess he doesnt like his brand, pardon the pun, new "Rewarder" Tattoo. So, he can put this one together and follow me.

I'm old Sav, he'll prolly pass me.......now we have toyed w/ the idea of putting my blown small block in there....for a minute, but really it's for him to learn on. At 65-70 MPH he'lll think he's doin a buck twenty.
