Yep, Sounds about right. Then the guy was talking shit to one of the foremans cause I complained that the sticker was crooked and made him throw a new one on.. Im way OCD about that, and if I have to stare at it for 8-10 hours, damn thing better be straight!

Guy just emailed me back.. Its a vac secondary.. Iv heard to stay away from these on boats. That true? The carb looks great and needs a rebuild for 50 bucks.. Kinda seems like I cant go wrong.

Hey, Found a good deal on a Holley 750 double pumper that needs a rebuild. Would this carb be fine for my stock 454?

As I was doing the usual youtube random video searches.. check out the other one that comes up on the related video sidebar.. The eagle killing the goat is hardcore!

Holy shit glass! What kinda truck is that? I know mines old (99) but it was 422 for a one ton. My 03 Chevy with the 6.0 was 440. And I thought I was gettin a deal cause of the money Id save on smog! I even used that as one reason to buy the diesel (among 200 others) Im glad I got the edge, but even after you pull those programers they still blow a little smoke. One of the smog tests is a visual smoke test. Im not sure how they judge that. Guy up here is cool as hell, Im sayin if he finds a benjamin where the cats supposed to be Im in! 

Thats what Im saying.. 4 inch turbo back straight pipe with AFE intake and Edge with Juice with fuel trim ALL the way up. Smog guy said cold air intake on diesels is legal. His advice was to uninstall the chip and drive for awhile then bring it in. With stock exhaust of course. I love spending money on the exhaust that I spent money to get rid of!

I just got my registration renewal in the mail.. If the HUGE price wasnt enough already.. It says smog inspection required. I thought this was a mess up (happened before on my 74 chevy pickup). I went to the smog guy in town just to check and they actually passed it..

Effective January 1, 2010, smog emission inspections are required for diesel-powered vehicles manufactured in or after 1998, and have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 14,000 pounds or less for original registrations and transfers. Biennial smog inspection requirements will be phased-in beginning with a registration renewal date of April 30, 2010.

The whole damn thing has to be stock from intake to exhaust, and no chips or programmers. They have to pass a visual smoke test then be hooked up to the computer. Talk about shitty! This is EXACTLY why I bought a diesel, to be loud, fast, bellowing black smoke, WITHOUT the damn smog!

Sorry if this is old news to people.. I just had to vent before I go postal in the DMV!!! 

Vessel assist? Isnt that what beer is for? Ill be the one with the sign that says "Will pay beer for a tow" 

Cool. The pan I have is out of a truck. Looks pretty big. I know the more oil the better, but Im just trying to go for the essentials for the time being.

Well, Sold the Rhino today. Sad to watch it leave but now I have boat cash! Picked up the 454 for 300 bones. Now the fun begins. Need a few things.. but what else do you guys recomend getting? So far its valve covers, intake/carb, scoop, high quart oil pan.. I think Im going to need a bellhousing and whatever parts connect the motor to the U-Joints on the jet. Id also like to get the motor rails to make it easier to pull later on. I have engine plates. Need a distributor, buy expensive or buy factory Chev? Iv heard alot about getting a cam.. your thought on that? It looks like I have all waterlines to hook up the motor. Anything else off the top of your heads?

I was literally JUST looking at that boat on CL. Actually passed it up then went back to it to look again! That boat looks great! Good luck with the sale!

Since Im new to this whole Jet boat experience, Iv been reading alot to figure out what to buy. I have a few questions though.. Like whats the difference between an A impeller and a B? Why are some made of bronze and some stainless? Also, I found some headers for a BBC and was wondering if its a good deal or not. Theyre basset with the ports in the bottom for water, but no lines. They're shorter than most of the headers Iv seen and a little beat up, will need a refinish. But moneys tight and the guy wants $200. Worth it? Thanks in advance for any info!

SOLD!
