Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Ford 460
« on: January 24, 2018, 03:41:15 PM »I don't agree with you, as long as the stock heads are ported they're not crap..With that cam you don’t really have to worry about reversion (sucking up water) especially with that type of exhaust but I’m not familiar with it. Unless the manifold is water injected before the rise I think it’s ok. It looks to me like they have water jackets like log manifolds. Just keep the exhaust flaps in good shape. As far as the comp rockers go, I also bought from clay smith but you can get them from summit I’m sure. With my setup George wanted me to run 1:8 on the intake side and 1:7 on the exhaust. I thought it was a little unusual but he’s been doing it for 50 years so I didn’t question it.
I would really like aluminium heads, but the costs is just too high for this build.
@Steveo909
I will get the heads machined so i can use any roller rocker kit.
Do you have a link to your comp rollers online steveo?
ClaySmith answered with my setup, and that cam i should see about 475 hp and rev 5000-52000 rpm. Sounds awesome to me.
Only thing i am concerned about is the lobe separation which was 108 .... i have read a lot about "sucking water" because when you have such thigt separation the inlet and exhaust valve is opened at the same time for a little time.
I will ask Clay about that also
Any experiences with 108 lobe separation on wet exhaust here ?

« on: January 24, 2018, 10:13:59 AM »I would like to keep my exhaust.. if it's possible.And I would also buy the hardened 5/8 pushrods from clay smith and get rid of the stock 3/8 inch. Thats a good cam. Pretty mild with a nice sounding idle. You can use the stock rockers with that setup but if you have it apart, might as well put some rollers in there. They add a little power and are easy. Only thing is if you decide to add the rollers, you will need to have your heads machined to accept the guide plates and studs. The D3VE iron heads work very well with intake and exhaust porting and a nice bowl blend. I also added bigger valves to mine. Runs awesome and plenty of power for the family cruiser.
I would need a valve cover that followed the exhaust like the stock ones, but was taller ! It should exist shouldn't it?
Like this ones in this video, would allow higher lift and roller rockers.. where to buy?
So i e-mailed Clay Smith about what i got and here is what i got:
This is the camshaft we would recommend part # 09-032 your Cost $ 195.00
We would also recommend the Hi-Rev Hydraulic Lifters Part # 120-0112 your cost $ 101.25
Big Block Ford Hydraullic
Grind #
H-280-8-BHL
I guess i should just go with that?
I sent another question about what rpm and hp i should expect

« on: January 23, 2018, 12:23:41 PM »Sounds nice.Not sure if the rockers I have will fit under the stock covers. I would think you could find some covers that might accommodate What you want with that exhaust style. There are lots of options. Or you can always find a good pair of logs and snails which is what I have.
Does the comp cams rollers fit under standard low valve covers like the ones on my picture?
I cannot have the tall ones as you can see with my exhaust manifolds..
aha, maybe i should contact clay smith too, not a bad idea i think.

I used the comp cams rollers
Called clay smith and told him what I had and he made a camshaft for me. It’s awesome.
Speed pro flat top pistons give me 9.2:1 with worked over D3VE heads port matched with a weiand stealth intake. Stock crank. Pushes an Agressor AB cut to 51-5200 with a quick fuel 850. Not sure what the HP is but I’m guessing close to 500.

Call Dooley. They’re super cool and easy to work with. They built a custom oil pan for me at the same price as their production pans.

I totally rebuilt my boat myself and would not have been able to do it without this site. I think most of the people with the real knowledge are still here. I do follow the Facebook group but I agree that it is full of a bunch of turds.

Interior / Re: cleaning and conditioning white vinyl interior
« on: August 30, 2017, 07:23:23 AM »The white interior on my boat is showing it's age and holding dirt in the texture of the vinyl. I was talking to a friend of mine who uses "Performance Boat Candy" vinyl clean and vinyl condition. I have not used it myself yet. What are some opinions on this product....is it worth the $$? At $45 for 2 bottles, it would be nice to hear more experiences with it. Anything else out there that works as well/better at a lower cost? Thanks in advance.This one works well for me.

WTB / Jet o vator steering tube bearing
« on: August 14, 2017, 11:25:04 PM »
Hey guys. Looking for an old school steering tube bearing for a jetovator. Mine finally cracked in half. Wanted to see if anyone on here had an old one laying around they want to sell.
I found them on the berkeleys site but they want $100 for them. It's a small piece of plastic and I'm having trouble paying $100 for one.

« on: August 10, 2017, 11:39:39 AM »
I bought a new spark arrestor that does not have a provision for the tube that runs from the marine fuel pump. Is it ok to hook it up to an empty vacuum port on the carb or is that a bad idea?

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / ford 460 only turns 4500rpm
« on: August 04, 2017, 08:49:44 PM »Loader? What RPM?I'm not sure yet. Haven't had time to test the new motor. Maybe next week. It's an A/B cut which I think is equal to a berk A. I'm guessing it will be 52-5400. Has the sport intake grate.
I doubt seriously you will have an issue. How old of an Aggressor?

« on: August 04, 2017, 08:31:36 PM »
For what it's worth, clay smith recommended I use permatex #1 between the pickup and pump and pump to block instead of a gasket. He said it lessens the chance of sucking air.

I had the water jackets welded closed on the ends where it meets the snail. No longer have to worry about leaks or corrosion.

« on: July 31, 2017, 06:37:06 PM »
If you run the water before starting the boat you run the risk of filling up the the exhaust manifolds without having the exhaust gasses to push the water out. It will find its way into any open exhaust valve.

No they aren't slotted unfortunately. I cut the bolts down flush with the nuts and I'm going to try again and see if it fits. The rubber mount on the pump is brand new.
