Cleaning out the garage and found some stuff left over from when i switched from sbc to bbc in my project car someone might find useful.  2 Rochester carbs  needing rebuild, misc chevy brackets off a small block chevy and an MSD  electronic distributor that needs some electrical repair. Still cleaning so ill post up more as I find. Located in Moreno valley. Let me know if your interested and make an offer. Stuffs been taking up space.

I know on my family's old boat top speed was around 45 ish. After refinishing the bottom it went up to around 58ish.

The 7.3 powerstroke was made from 95 to 97 then it went under a few revisions for the 99-01 and then again from 01-03/04. 03/04 is when ford introduced the 6.0 which is a good motor just requires some head studs and a egr block plate to keep the head gaskets. Then in 08 the 6.4 came out ( the cab off truck) and then in 11 the new 6.7. The 7.3 is what most consider the most reliable and i would have to agree. Only because its been around for near 10 years and their pretty much figured out. And the 4r100 behind the 99-04 7.3's is a know weak point if you beat on your vehicles. Mine took a dump at 185k. 2k to have it rebuilt and ill expect another 150k out of it at least.

That's funny...my friend has a v10 now and he has over 135,000 miles on it. Drives it every day,pulls a boat,toy box(35ft), bobcat thing. Down side is the gas. He gets 10 to12mpg.

Its a good motor don't get me wrong. My dads F250 has one and since 01 its had a bed full of concrete hose and a pump hooked to it, around 8k. Never really given any problems except the coil packs and its around 180k. But my truck which is the same except diesel gets better mileage towing and around town. I guess its more so personal preference.

But I also have a 6 position chip, a aftermarket intake, and a 4in straight pipe exhaust. So that helps with the mileage. My truck is just under 200k and I get close to 18mpg towing my loaded 20 foot dump trailer. And around 22 on the highway not towing and unloaded.

Well thanks for the welcome guys. I spent about 6 hours yesterday after work goin through things and found a ziplock bag full of reciepts. Seems the jet was gone through in 03 and all of the cables were replaced. The engine was rebuilt in 02. Kinda figured the engine was in good shape after i checked everything under the valve covers, did compression test and leak down test. Hell its compression numbers are closer than my big block in my chevelle and that engine was just rebuilt.......again.  So it looks like the important stuff was taken care of. As you can tell from the amazingly great cell phone pictures the interior is pretty much well served its purpose and is done. Spent most of last night pulling everything out and that's when i stumbled upon the bag. Got everything out and The stringers seem to be in good shape as far as i can tell. My old man emphasized greatly on those due to him selling his favourite boat because of bad stringers when i was younger. And that's about as far as i got last night. Hopefully ill get the sub floor and front seats back in tonight and see if i can pull some strings with my friends at prefix and hopefully get to see if it floats.

So i got on this kick looking for a jet boat. Wife tells me im never gonna find a deal and i should just let it go. So i picked up a 19 footer jet from my brothers girlfriends dad for a woppin $200. Funny thing is he doesnt remember who made it and he thinks he lost the paper work for the boat. But either way its not in too bad of shape and it only took me 2 hours to get the 454 fired up. Im just curious s to what the hell to expect.
