We bought 2" flat stock for the back side of the stringers, and we were planning on making large washers from the extra flat and angle stock for both sides.

GT - let me know how deep the 8 qt is and how much ::). There is not a lot of room, but I would like him to have the added insurance of a little extra oil.

Slckreg - Thank you, but I think the shipping from Utah would be a bit much.

Did you want one set or both? If one set let me know which. I will be heading up to Merced in about 3 weeks. If you can wait that long I will ship them from there, it will probably be cheaper.

What size bolts do you guys use for through bolting the rails? I was thinking 1/2". Also should the holes through the rails be the same size, or do you oversize by say 1/16"?

Is it that no one needs these, or am I way off base on what I am asking for these?

It does not have the clamp. How does $75 + shipping sound. Let me know.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. We are cleaning up the engine bay and filling the old stringer holes right now. We should be starting the install after we get back from our vacation.

Thanx for the pics Brad they really help. Bebo and I are going to do our best to limit our "do overs" and make it work and look at least decent.

Yeah its a jet. Don't plan on drilling until I understand it well. Still don't quite know how to figure the elevation, ie even with top, or how far below top of stringer for best fit/function.

No action yet, just planning and staging materials. We are still only as far as removing the bad fiberglass and foam (previous thread).
Any input on the different metals....?

I am not sure what you mean by "zero out the boat at the stringers". Do you mean making the stringers level fore and aft and using that as the starting point? Thanks for the info BTW.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Rail Kit Install Question
« on: May 28, 2009, 04:11:47 PM »
So we decided to install a rail kit in Bebo's Hondo. My question is how do I find the elevation that the horizontal part of the rail gets installed at? I assume that some vertical distance can be made up in the mounting plates, so a little too low is better than a little too high.
Second question, the angle for the mount is aluminum, but the flat bar bracing on the outside of the stringer is steel (less cash), will this cause a problem due to disimilar metals? We will be using SS bolts.

Thanks

I have a Hardin Marine bellhousing for a 460. I would like to trade if for a 454 bellhousing. If no trades, it is for sale.

I will be heading up to the Merced area in late June. Are you anywhere in close to that area? We would be willing to drive a little to save a few bucks.

Thanks for the info OS. I also saw in an old thread that Jim Brock has a jig for setting up BB Chevy's. Could I still use that jig or would I need to get the cast mounts and use those to determine offsets etc? I checked out the pricing on the Rex website - OUCH!
At least they are right next door if we do have to  buy them new.  Anyone got a set laying around they are wanting to get rid of?

Bebo and my oldest son Brandon got the boat out today and installed the new bunks which have been sitting in the garage pissing off my wife for the last month. Thanks to a previous thread about pulling the boat off the trailer we had the confidence to do it in the front yard. I am sure that my neighbors loved me. The boys have been really motivated lately.
The bunks look great. We are planning on sandblasting and priming, maybe even painting the trailer when we go to my father in laws house in Central Cali for a family reunion in June. Hey Nathan 72, we will be coming up your way to Atwater, hows that for a small world! If anyone needs something shuttled up to the Merced area from the LA area in late June just let me know.
