I was looking to get 300 for the new Weiand. Only has some minor grinding on it from someone trying to mock up AFB's on it I think. Hardly noticeable. The one at Harry's without the 660's? I dunno, 250 sound fair? I don't really know what brand that one is, but it's polished! Hafta hit Harry up for some more pics.

Have you seen what the linkage looks like on one of these things?   It would be hard to replicate if the manifold doesn't come with it.  I had a Z28 crossram on the first SBC in my Horizon and aside from using more gas I didn't see much benefit.  I think it did raise the RPM's about 400 but it robbed power from the bottom end.  It was polished and looked purdy.  This one not so much.   I think that price reflects the fact that there is no linkage.


Has anybody told you that you spend waaaay too much time on CL?

They make repro Linkages, bro! And yes, they're a lot of fun to set up. Did it on a Max Wedge a long time ago, but cool???OH YEAH!   8)

Yeah, I do spend some time on there, I tripped across it looking for something for Aryan1   ;) (And a replacement pool pump motor...... :banghead:  ) 

Did ya pick up those mounts?

WarZone / WTF is wrong with some parents?????
« on: March 26, 2011, 12:12:54 AM »
So here I am at the shop, quiet, jammin' Sammy, and the GF calls in absolute tears. She took her 12 year old daughter to  Albuquerque this weekend for a Karate Tournament (Her daughter is a Black Belt....been doing this since she could walk..... :o ) In between sobs I get the jist of the story, then had to talk to Olivia as her mom was a basket-case. Understand Olivia usually wins EVERY local tourney, and this is a Regional event from the southwest to go on to the Nationals. The little thing scares me.......... :sly:

I get the parents and the sporting thing and their little "cliques".........(not that we have any here........ >:D)....but when the parents of students IN HER OWN SCHOOL AND CLASS, walk over to the parents, coaches, and kids from other parts of the country that are to spar with Olivia and tell them to "go for her head" and "if she does this move, do this as her chin is exposed", how and when to leg sweep her........there were about a dozen other references, some designed to REALLY HURT the kid, basically..........I have cause for concern. I did not know how bad this was. Carol made reference to "not fitting the mold" with the other parents before, which is why she usually has a friend or relative go with her on these trips. Noone was available, I'm working or else I'd be in Parker right now anyway  :P   

But really WTF? In the end, Olivia just did her thing, with a LOT more voracity, and broke one kids nose and dislocated anothers shoulder when they tried throwing illegal sparring moves on her. She came in third and advances to spar again tomorrow, but I'm quite sure this just compounded the issue.

Between us, and Carol doesn't need to know this guys, I'm proud of the kid for standing her ground and not taking that kinda crap, first. Second, I shoulda told her to then proceed to kick every parents ass that she knew had done these things if it happens again tomorrow! But as it is, Carol's worried about lawsuits and liability now. I told her just write down the names, what was said to whom, etc, the Sensei needs to be in the loop, or is involved. The kid just defended herself, and her pride. Nothing more.

Probably a good thing I'm not there as chances are pretty damn good I would be armed, and my little ass woulda at least showed some attitude and been politicing to the officials that the kids of these parents need be disqualified and banned from future Tourneys........But that's just me.........I'm sure the Sensei would never go for that because he would lose a LOT of tuition money,  :mad:

Am I wrong? So what? She's better than your kid! Lots of kids are better at what my kids are good at, I don't try and get your kid killed over it! WTF is wrong with people?????

Rant Over......

Here's Sleek77's mounts guys. Pretty cool! I hadda hit him up in case they were the Nicsons I really wanted, and I know him.



Taking the liberty of showing his float! The only other Sleek Streaker I've seen up close and personal like. Beautiful machine! Don't think it had the tunnel ram or the splash guard last time I saw it tho...But having these particular boats, you don't have to wear a size 12 hat to figure out WHY the splashguard!..... :thumbup:

hey thanks alot hb for the info i will take it easy when doing it. would you recomend a specail grease or will any average grease work and again thanks for the help :thumbup:and good luck on the rebuild of your pump

One of mine (JE) is setup that way too. I just run regular grease in it. Haven't heard of any special grease for this application, and have only ever had to put in a squirt or two. Trick is to remember to pull the other plug out and pump SLOWLY........

Bowl comes off here next week or so, we'll see how well the stuff worked for 2 seasons.......... :-\

Nah, I doubt the RPM would make a huge difference really. Not bang for the buck anyways.  You'd be further ahead with a single plane which should make a marked improvement over the std Performer ;)

I do have a center sump Marine pan, built in windage and pickup tho. Only rear sump I have available is promised to Rivertard........

Was talking with a few guys a couple weeks back in the engine tech section. Started to get an idea of what i wanted and what was needed $$$ and then BAM ex-wife issues...  :banghead: Now i would just like to hop up the boat a little and say screw the paint and interior till next year... If you guys have 460 parts for sale let me know. Anything post pics, p.m. what ever you have to do just get them out. starting to feel the rush for the season fast approaching. Don't have a lot of cash after this couple weeks but i do have some project money left over.

Probably any part you would ever need is in someones garage here (in my case, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, AND the garage........... :screwy: )

I know I've got various Dizzy's, a practically new Performer RPM, a few 460 tunnel rams, a set of real nice Bassett Twisties, new Crane Commander 292 cams etc, etc.........You'll have to be more specific about what you want...... >:D

Only 3 times have I had to use the transfer case lever pulling any of mine out. Once was at Elsinore, that thing was SLICK! The other two times were doing beach launches at Bartlett Lake.  2WD is fine I would say.........

I am assuming you are removing it from it's base when you shake it? Probably a small piece of manufacturing debris and nothing to worry about, on the other hand, they're cheap and I keep one in the toolbox... :sly:

GT

LOL I keep one behind the seat of my truck also. Cheap insurance. I remember Nordie having one fail once, almost catastrophically,  and another time I pulled one out of Pickle (It runs 2) on the beach when Aquaholics went out. Then hadda run Pickle with a pair of vice grips on one of the dump lines, but it worked!  :thumbup:

Replace it or at least carry a spare. That is one thing you do NOT want to have quit on you in the middle of the lake or miles up/down river........ :screwy:
