I finally decided to rip the Olds 455 out of my Hondo and throw in a BBC ;D. I was running Bassett wet headers with the Olds motor but have been thinking about running some sort of LOGS set up when we finally drop the new motor in. Has anybody done this before? Any tips or tricks to look out for?

Why go with the logs?

I run logs with old school OT pipes. I like this setup for many reasons. Gets all of the exhaust heat to the very back of the boat. The logs preheat the water and help regulate the water pressure before the water goes into the block. Drawbacks, they limit the amount of overlap and duration you can have on the cam. Mild motors only. I have two extra sets of pipes if you are interested.

That's a similar set up I've been thinking about running, Im having a motor built right now by Advanced Racing Engines and we talked about it.
