Looking for a deck pod to mount my tach.

Thanks

I bet I could mount up a V roller in front of the float bar mount that way the boat would ride up and over the mount instead of on it, then it wouldn't be needed once pulled out of the ramp.

Might look into a block or roller for sure.  Thanks.

Is there any rhyme or reason the length of a float bar?    I bought a Rogers Super Cyclone from the bay area last year and brought it to Texas.  Our ramps appear to be a little steeper out here and I'm having trouble running the hull into the float bar mount.  I'm thinking if I shorten it up by about half it'll work out a lot better at the ramp, but I"m wondering how short is too short.

These aren't mine, but I thought I'd get the word out.

I'd buy them, but I'm looking for a set of 5 hole slots for my rig.

Are the pistons forged ?

I don't know.    They have 252-97 stamped on the inside of the piston, which I think equates to a TRW piston, but I'm not sure who finished/sold them.   I can mic them and find the exact bore size tonight.

^^^Some of the info I've found on them.

Edit:  Looks like they are a TRW forging that Speed Pro or Sealed Power finished/sold.  Should be around 12.5:1 comp depending on heads/deck height.

Got a couple of extra parts in a deal for a short block that I don't need.  A cam with low hours that is too big for me and a set of valve covers that I don't want.

Keep in mind these are in DFW, so they'll have to ship.  I have a buddy in Palmdale, so I might could send them out with his Vette on the truck in a week or so.

Comp 11-220-4 Solid lifter with lifters and springs.  $250 o.b.o.  Appears to be low hours, I'd run it, but it's too big for my motor.

Comp Composite valve covers.  Looks like the P.O. dropped one on a corner.  A little epoxy and it should be good as new.

$80 o.b.o.

I've got a set of pistons that are claimed to be Speed Pro .060 over pop ups.  They appear to have a 50cc dome from what I can find online.  They have 292-97 embossed on the bottom of the slug.  I'm still cleaning these and trying to find a P/N for them, I'll post more when they're ready to go.

Bump the compression to 10:1 and you might be OK, unless you are going be running over 5,500 RM, stay hydraulic roller..

JMHO

George at Clay Smith Cams is the jet boat guru.
That's sound advice.

Roller is out of the budget for now, as is a CR bump.  I'll go back through the bottom end at a later date. It's a stock Berk with an A cut, it'll never see over 5k.

Both of those cams are way too big for what you are looking to do.


I would recommend the Schneider Racing JB-3H . They are out of san diego and have been making cams since the 70s or 80s cant remember right now.

224* / 230* .540"/ .540" on 112.  Just put this in a 468 BBC and pulled 500 HP at 5500 with headers.   The cams you listed will peak power too high for what you need in a jet boat.

Just my $0.02

I figured they were a little big, but hell, you gotta start somewhere.

You need to get in touch with, George Striegel of Clay Smith Cam. His shop is in Buena Park. 714-523-0530.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.



Nothing I've found in a catalog seems to hit the sweet spot, they're either tiny, or they rev too high.

I will take a look this evening for ya.

Thanks

What size carb is it?

Got the part yesterday, looks great for being two and half decades old.  Thanks a ton Jim!
