Dropped the motor in.
Ran some new wires for the gauges and did some plumbing, but no pics yet.

Yeah, Terry's workin hard on me to go Blown Chebbie V-drive, and it's working, lol
To his defense, my son was the one that started all this, intitially and then with the V-drive, so.........
I do know tranny's, so this is not such a stretch. Might be fun to convert B-rad's Hallett to v drive now that I think about it..... dunno. Gonna talk to HD rider a little more this afternoon.
Ray
With all this talk about converting to V-drive, I think calling you bi would be generous.
We only use the stereo when floating or beached.

Bingo, it holds the back of the radio. We got rid of the radio. Opted for an amplifier, 10" sub, and 2 6x9's. Ipod hookup RCAs go directly into the amp, no reception for radio at the river anyways.

Waiting for a couple small things from Tom at JBP and Summit Racing before dropping the motor in. Made all new seat mounts, but figured I would put the motor in first and plumb it before mounting the rear seat. Crossing my fingers on getting parts and having it done by Saturday. Want to break in the cam and motor at Elsinore before hauling 4 hours to the river.

You should be in the water REAL quick on that!
Ray
I know what you mean. With the last motor there was a constant oil slick in the bilge area. I tried to cover it up with lots of chrome (empty Coors Light cans).

I'm trying really hard to get mine done to go out that weekend. I think my buddy, Fasterthebetter, on PB and his cousin are going. My other buddy just bought a boat too and wants to go too. Current goal is to have it running this weekend and maybe a test run at Elsinore on Sunday.

Fock! I just had hardened seats installed on my BBC 049 heads. A few of the valves we starting to pull through. The machine shop said it was from unleaded fuel. It really didn't cost a whole lot ($120 extra). Should I not have had them done? Just leave those couple valves the way they were?

I am in the process of rebuilding my 76 Howard. The engine blew last season. One thing lead to another and I decided to redo most of the neglected repairs and maintenance. Here are some of the pics of the progress. I started about a week ago and hope to be done this week.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Head Gasket Question
« on: June 03, 2009, 01:50:22 PM »Wrong gaskets, the bottom three holes are different on the two blocks, I think the motor you have is called the "service replacement", I get you the right P/N...

I'll take the Part number when ever you get a chance.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Head Gasket Question
« on: June 02, 2009, 11:02:35 PM »
I am not sure if I have the correct head gaskets for my BBC. The block is 3999289, Mortec says 71-79 2 Bolt 454. I have Fel-Pro gaskets 1037 and it says for blocks with 3 lower coolant holes in the block. Problem is mine only has 1 coolant hole. Are these OK to use or does anyone know the correct ones I need? I am trying to get the motor together and get on the water soon.

« on: April 05, 2009, 08:31:29 PM »WTF is a "swallow" hull LOL
GT
I don't know what the technical term is. Because it is a tunnel hull, the distance from where the seat mounts to the floor and the top of the deck is very small. When sitting in it your knees would stick up above the deck. That's the best way I can describe it. Maybe it was just the way my buddy had it mounted?
