Want me to call it and ask for Ginger??

And yes, Joe, I let the tattoo artist have his way with me. gave me a 10% discount and a coupon for a half off tattoo on an anatomy part to be named later..............

I feel SOOOOOO cheap.................


Ray

Ahh, OK my bad. Well, I guess you're gonna find out what this is all about the hard way like me, lol Buy boat, spend MORE money.

Ray

This was the boat you just bought with the Olds in it right?

Ray

Did have this thought tho, some insight how my lil brain works, or doesn't, as the case may be. I always thought these things sucked from both tanks to keep somewhat of a weight balance. If you run one tank down to say, 1/4 or less then do you have to have the fat guy in the back move to the other side of the boat to keep it from flipping over? Might be even worse if the fat guy is the driver!

Ray

OK, Fuel tank selector, check! Now to figure out which tank is which on the dash switch. The one with the sender or the one without, lol. Things keep getting interesting!

Thanks Guys!

Ray

lmao, my dad is checking his "treasure" chests, some time ago he had an old, lever operated horn from a truck he bought that came from New Mexico. Went Moooooooooo! when you pulled this rope routed through the firewall. Claims he still has it somewhere, lol

Ray

Anyone help me with this? World's smallest electric fuel pump? Don't see THAT feeding this thing! If anything, seems it would restrict the mechanical I'm gonna run for right now.



Also, there's GOT to be a better way to come off this tube from the JE pump. A Compression to AN fitting? I plan to run braided S/S lines eventually, might have to bite the bullet and do it now.

Out with the old, in with the new. Haven't yet torn into the old mill, but I'm sure I'm going to find a mess. Previous owner told me the new engine ran 20 minutes before BANG. Seems the builder and installer ran no sort of pressure releif nor o/b dump and all water ran through the new headers.





And in with the new!






Small problem with the new Milodon pan that I missed was the rod welded across under the old pan connecting the right and left motor mounts. I was concerned about cleqarance with the pan anyway, but when the engine sat on something with 3 inches left to drop, well, imagine my surprise!.

this was the culprit and the instrument of it's destruction!



We'll add in a new, custom crossover with it's own plates between the stringers this week. I don't see the need for it, myself, makes no sense from a physics standpoint, but what do I know?

Ray

Got two anchors!, but might need more. Made a lot of progress last night and this morning tho

Gonna start a new thread on this. Went easier than expected, although 3 or 4 trips for parts and more to come!





Ray

Tee Hee!

Know what, might be able to hook you up for benefit reasons. gimme awhile and I'll get and post pics of some used, need polish and some slight paint removal Ford Racing covers.

Ray

For a family boat, sounds like just the ticket! I know that is what I fully intended when I started this, or these, manageries, but they've taken a life of their own. I blame testosterone for over building what these things are about to become!

Then again, there's no such thing as too much horsepower. That's why Budweiser has 8 Clydesdales when 2 would more than do the job, Same with Santa!
