hey guys it started when i met a guy my sister was dating named rick solt he was a member of the original river rat club he told me and he has a sweet 18 ft sanger drag boat wit ha 428 dual carb nascar cobrajet that came out of one of richard pettys torinoes.black on blue ,blue crushed felvet seats and the best of all part was that he worked for the budwiser crew (looks for drooling smiley) anyway about a month later he offered to sell me the boat for 4 grand and bam i was into drag boats this thing was so quik outa the hole that it would pull you out of the seat lol (thank god for the oh shit bar he had on the dash)anyway later on he died of a heart attack after beating cancer and i thought id restore the boat becouse it did have alot of hours on it i was workin pretty good and had money rollin in so i went for it.about half way into the redo i had to take a detour in life and left the hull at a friends house .when i got back into town this so called friend had cut the hull into pieces with a chain saw
:screwy:so there went my progect and the memorys of a born again drag boater.a couple years later i got married yaaay :banghead:lol and low and behold a sweet 21 ft daycruser cought my eye and off to las vegas i went to buy it .about 3 months of skiing and a wonderfull life of back into the water the preverbial clikking of a blown set of lifters started to sing its horible song.after a teardown and an inspection the person who redid the motor for the people i bought it from had desighned it to go into a car :screwy:so after 5 years of buying little pieces here and there to try to rebuild this 460 i been burned again by a couple shops and the stupidest thing i did was move to florida to help my wifes dad who said he was dying of cancer but come to find out he did nt have cancer he said that to get us to move down here couse he wanted my wife to take care of him couse his wife had left him.so sence the drag boat craze is so far from this place having any friends that r into is is very rare.anyway moral to the story i need you guyses help to get me back in the water .my blok is ok i have pistons and a intake i need a cam a set of carbs under 600s cfm a set of rods and valve covers couse mine were stolen i been fighting to finish this thing for 6 years on my own and having 3 kids and a wife who wont get a job leaves me pretty much taped out i even sold my trailer so i could pay a power bill 2 years ago .to be honest i never ask for help on this stuff but darnit i need to get back in the water or im gona go crazy :banghead:sorry about the long story but i figured i better explane befor i asked so if any one has these parts and can just plane give them away id be eternaly gratefull i understand if alot of you post to me get a job looser lol ps the heads i had were stolen to anyway i can pay for shiping if ya have what i need couse i do have a job lol anyway i love the site and if anyone cant help i understand its alota stuff anyway have a good summer and someone squirt a rooster for me lol ty
