That's the standard size from Holley, if that motor is what Prospect says it is, I'd say you're going to want to go 50cc front and rear, and probably squared 82 jets.

Good luck

Took the jets out 67 up front 75 rear not going to work,power valve missing in the rear looks like some one piece it together.Thinking 80's up front 82's rear,what about the ac pump's 30 front 50 rear?

Brian-
Put 82 jets front & rear 50cc pumps front & rear, 4.5 power valves, run your timing up
To 14* initial (38* total) that motor wants fuel & timing. Remember that thing had
dual 750s on it

Thanks Skip I'm all over it.

i agree with all this accept the timing, start at 34*and work your way up. unless you are very sure about your set up

DOVE Heads far out perform the D3VE heads in stock form, if you match port the intake & exhaust, you'll be happy. The only concern is the DOVE heads are like 74cc, the D3VE heads are like 92cc, you gotta watch your compression ratio. I would suggest you check all that shit before you go
messing around with that motor, Motor Magic built that motor, from what I've been told, that boat was a fairly stout piece, 80MPH+.

See you in January

i had it above 80 legit once...the comp. ratio is already high...w/out different pistons i'd advise against the smaller chambers...at least right now. skip's right on the money. and yes, motor majic did indeed build the motor. cheers!

just get the damn thing on the water so you can get some reference points for future upgrades. when you are ready i know of some really good ford porters, that being said porting aint cheep and the better way would be with a set of edelbrock heads, they come in 95cc's just like the heads you have on there now.

Been doing some research on my boat, according to Greg shoemaker its an SS Bubble deck the reason its called that no sub floor,also commented they were fast hulls.

Thats a purdy Ferd you got there

Looks killer, hope it runs as good.

« **Reply #70 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:55:33 PM »

Thanks,the motor turned out to be bigger then i thought 514 ci Aggressor pump it should run hard.hopping it hits the big 80 mph.

« **Reply #71 on:** December 31, 2008, 05:36:24 PM »

Brian, that boat ought to run 80 easily. 85 is the mark you should be shooting for. Get it ready, the Papp deal is coming sooner than you think.
