Amen Ralph

I remeber it clear as day. I just got out of the shower and was in the bedroom getting ready for work and I saw the WTC on fire at first i thought it was the anniversay of the WTC bombing then on live TV i saw the second plane hit and said WTF was that and at that moment my heart sank like a ton of bricks. I WILL NEVER FORGET
RIP all 2996 people

There really is no right or wrong answer for this question. Every boat is its own beast and what is good for one may not be good for another. Like 2sav said borrow one from a buddy and try it out. That is the ony way you will know for sure.

Interior / Re: broke a seat...what about 2 benches?
« on: September 01, 2009, 01:12:15 PM »
They make Stringer and Floor Mount Throttle and Divertor controls. I have a 1/4 stringer with Bench to Bench and floor mount throttle and Hydro divertor
The point i was trying to make and did not clairfy well, ok not at all was with a bench to bench and a floor the manul PD would be between your legs and that i do not like. You have a hdraulic so no worries there.

I like having a bench in the back but then again i have two small kids and I like the idea of them not getting into the motor area.
The only down side i can see to bench bench combo would be you have to have a full stringer boat with no floor up front to mount your diverter control to. If you do not have a PD then should not be an issue. I do like my brothers front bench it is cool. It has a spot for the driver with a side to hold you in the driver seat then the other side is open makes it nice.

Nope ......
The suction housing was powder coated and I'm not going through that again over a hand hole cover.
I can weld aluminum so I can modify some shiz .
I'm more concerned with the handling aspect ......
Lover........  ;)  :-*

That is about where my pumps sits and there is a guy here locally that makes fiberglass inverted transom covers. Keeps the handhole outside the boat as the glass goes "inside the boat. He sells them for 225 uncut and with whitegel. I can send you a picture of what they look like if you want me too?

None of mine ever even required an inpection. Just went there with the bill of sale or the old reg, transfered it over, 35 bucks later, I got regs and stickers. Arizona also does NOT title watercraft. 2 of my boats are from Cali and I still have the Cali titles for them JIC.

Still have the Cali stickers on the Moo, need to order or have Brad make some cool AZ ones like the Moo has now, not putting Mailbox letters on it.

Ray the numbers on my boat came from this web site. i think they are a great deal at $40.00 for the set several fonts and colors to chose from

AV gas is not a problem for me to get. I have a local muni about 15 minutes from the house i can pull up and get fuel from them. I have ran it in the TX and it likes it as i am running 11-1 now. I would love to blow it but the cash gods will not allow it right now. Need to save some coin as i have spent more than i should have already this year on the stroker and buying the TX. Just gonna make due with what i have for the most part for the rest of the season and next.

I'm sure someone will chime in with the usual "Hey , I built a 1000 hp small block blah blah blah with a single quadrajunk carb!"
All I can say is research research research !

Right there is always that someone who is the "one up dude"
I am trying to reasearch now. just brainstroming and seing what is possible with what I have to help keep cost down. Just dumped an a$$ pot in the ford stroker and now want to kick up the 496 i have a bit. Thanks for the information guys and please keep it coming. You can never have to much input

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / BBC 496 ??
« on: August 18, 2009, 09:25:28 AM »
I know there are many variables to a motor combo but lets say the motor has everything I was told it did on the inside and it is all good and reusable. I have a 496 BBC that seems tight. Has a steel crank HBeam rods solid roller do not know lift or piston type. The motor so say is running 11.0:1 CR. What would it take to make an 800 ish HP pump gas motor or is this even possible? I would say crank rods and pistons could stay I am sure new heads and cam would be in order and if this could happen what would be the best route to take to get there?

Thank you for all your help with my dilemma. I am not sure which way i am going to go but i have to make it today. The machine shop only has a few days left before they need to pull my motor off the dyno and put on the next one. They are going to break it down on the dyno and pull the old cam and get the new one installed and ran this week. Again thank you for all your help.

Stuart,

Sorry that you got sucked into the Pro-Comp heads. Sometimes there's a very good reason parts are cheap; Pro- Comp is a prime example. 

Paul (Lakesonly) is a very good source to talk to.  Hopefully he can help you out on this to get the best out of what you have.

FYI, My 10.2:1 compression 512" (4.44x4.14)  with a solid roller and TFS A-460's with a single domi made 710 hp at 6,000 and 661 lbs. ft at 5,000 many years ago ('92). It was a pretty small roller.

Good luck on your project, hopefully you'll be able to afford to ditch the Pro-Comps in a year or two.  Like to see you cam specs and dyno sheet like Paul said. Where was that trq number ?

what sucks about this is i did not choose them. They came recommened to me i was looking at TFS or Edelbrocks is where i had it narrowed down to. A "friend" wh works at a head shop hyped them up big time and said they would work just as well needless to say i am not happy with his recomendation. I am stuck with them for next season lessoned learned go with the gut

Got the dyno sheets. Please post the camshaft part number and/or profile. The torque numbers look pretty good. Based on that curve and also the peak hp I suspect that a bigger camshaft will make a notable difference.

LO

They did run it again on Saturday using the 1.8 rockers and it gained 22 HP and pushed out the max torque 300 RPM. I am trying to locate the cam card but a tuff job as my house is in shambles right now. I am having the inside painted and it is a total mess. Crap is in every which room shoved to the center and coverd what a pain in the a$$

Yeah i am little pissed to say the least about what is going on. I had a friend who works for a head shop recomend the heads and i know my cam could be a little bigger still not happy with the dyno results. I sent Paul my dyno sheet as I could not post it as it is a PDF file and I have no way to scan it in and then post. I was wrong on the numbers also. It made 589 ft/lb and 517 hp make HP at 5,400. I will change the heads and cam now if that is the issue and chalk it up to lessoned learned. I have a stock 460 in my Sanger and i think the heads and cam will work perfect in that boat. Time to get new ones for the 514 that is going to go in the youngblood.

No, the intake port is not like the SCJ at all.  As delivered, there is nothing about the ProComp intake ports that resemble the SCJ heads. Nothing. They are modeled after the D3VE intake port, in fact they are a direct copy of a D3VE intake port, but with less room to grow than the factory iron D3VE. Even a CJ port match (which refers to a gasket match at the port entry only and not the entire intake port architecture) can be more effectively executed on the factory iron heads than the ProComp head (unless you do a ridiculous amount of welding on the outside of the intake ports of the Procomp Heads). The combustion chamber shape is modeled after the D3VE's 95 cc chamber, not the CJ's superiorly shaped 72cc chamber.

Whomever is suggesting that the ProComp head is based on an SCJ head is grossly in error. I see this all the time with non-Ford enthusiasts that are instantly wowed by the big intake ports of these passenger car engines and immediatey assume "it must be a Cobra Jet!"  ::)

But these are the head you are running and you want more power. Please post a dyno sheet and the camshaft part number.
