no, i dont know anything about the damn kit, im just stressin ya out >:D

I would order it thru someone with a regular store front. It would make returns/problems soooo much easier to work out (and small claims easier to file >:D) You have had so many false starts and bad info, why do you want to do this to yourself. Summit and Speed-O-Motive are just 2 who come to mind right now. Pinch pennies later, do your motor right.

Thanks, i just checked Summit , found it there too so that is where i would purchase from>> Just like you said, i would rather talk to Summit than some dude on ebay ???
I have to take the block back to the machine shop, to hone the cylinders , install cam bearings and whatever else needs to be done. Another $200 and he will install the kit...... Come on tax check..........
2sav's got a plan.
-
good advice glasscutter.....
summit has a no hassle return policy...no restocking fee's if its under 90 days.

2Sav -- Don't wanna distract you here but have you considered getting a runner from a salvage yard to use for the summer while you build one over the winter? At the rate things are moving on this project you are going to be late and broke come June & July. We all wanna see ya out on the water.
On a side note, I was just looking at the RSVP list for Parker. I'm just guessing here but it looks to me like there will be very few boats that will do 60+mph and even less that are going to be pushing 85mph. Building your "BigDog" motor should take all the time and caution that you can spare. Don't rush it for Parker in June.
-
again, more good points made by glasscutter.
The Parker gathering isnt some balls out run what ya brung ass kicking big block party......just show up....cruise around....have a good time.

Yeah that was taken into consideration, and even went to the salvage yard... They said $350 for a engine with no gaurantees it will run and i have to pull it out. I have even looked for junker cars/truck on the side of the road 4 sale, but nothing worth chancing.. At this point i dont care what engine i put in it as long as it runs.....Not even worried about speed that will come later.......... No way im making Parker.

Always thinking of yourselves . . . How is you guys getting all dressed up in your leather, chains, collars and studs just so Sav's wife can crack her whip and make you guys lick her shiney black boots while calling her Goddess going to help Sav? Why don't you just send her to the I.E. and I will . . . Oops TMI probably huh? >:D

call and talk to brian, get the scat not the eagle. just my experience, all new components will need to be inspected. there are NO drop in kits that i know of.

i think there are a lot of different options for the kit (forged pistons h or i beam rods and so on) CALL and talk to brian about your combo and its application BEFORE you buy.......

Im looking at the forged kit now for $1200 will take a little more time to save for it, but will be worth it in the end ;D
2sav

You know, as long as you need crank, rods and pistons, you should seriously consider buying a 4.250" stroker kit. Quick way to 25+ extra inches and enhanced torque and HP at jet-friendly RPMs.
At the very least, price the components to compare to a stock setup. One more thing, NO hypereutectic pistons!!! Stick to forged.
-
I wish i knew more about this stuff, i would be better off in the long run.....
After seeing the craigslist in vegas, i could buy a complete boat for what the rotating assembly will cost......Well almost ;D
