Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: What are the best flowing exhaust manifolds for an enclosed engine compartment
« on: June 16, 2010, 09:51:21 AM »
I would consider the chebby adapters.   

I'm trying to find out what you guys  have tried and found to work.  I could go spend $3000 on exhaust and still not get what the engine needs. 

Then the engine wouldn't be happy and neither would the wife  :mad:

What enclosed compartment headers have you guys tried and found to work?

That's the question of the ages   ;D

I can't find much of anything reasonable in the line of 460 exhaust.   I need headers that are water
jacketed for an enclosed engine compartment.

Surely someone makes a reasonably priced high flow exhaust that fits the bill.

What are you guys running for high flow manifolds?   They don't have to flow like
a funny car but better than long bolt logs. 

 No not the over the transom surf board type.  I'd love it but the wife would shoot me if I told her the sun deck was now an exhaust port  ::)

Anyone have any used Hi Flow for sale?

I added a picture of the original engine so you could see the room available.   I think I could modify for
width but not  height.

What pressure would we be looking for, fore and aft of the impeller?   What
pressure range would we be looking at?

If you're on a budget you could go with one sleave and one new piston for the short block.

 ;)  Verify #1 cylinder and voltage to the + side of the coil to start.
Points?  electronic?  msd type box or not?  
Do you have a volt meter?  Just follow the bouncing volts  ;D

My motorola finially bit the dust after 33 years and one rebuild  :sly:

Any way to the question,  what do you guys think of the one wire alterators?
What brand are you using and where did you get them?  Any brands
to avoid??

I'm waiting on Tom to reply back so I just thought I'd try to
gather more info in the mean time.

I'd like to go with 100 amps ball park.

Any info would be appreciated, thank you!

If I were you I would pick up a junk yard engine in decent shape and rebuild the short block.
Transfer what ever parts you can save from your marine engine and you'll be back on the water.   

Use your cam and lifters, distributor, heads (f they weren't destroyed)and you'll have your
performance without all the $$$$

You can spend $$$$ next summer  ;D

Tom, no pressure taps.

If the keel line were right where the rock grate lines were then it was cut right on the button.
It's hard to tell the real keel line as the bottom of the hull starts to slope toward the jet opening.

He just cut it dead on where the bottom of the rock grate was.

Got a call a little bit ago.   It WAS the loader.  Interesting, now does that mean
trim more off the ramp??

So if that is the case what is the solution?   Speed and rpms are down.

Put the rock grate back on and see what happens?

Then change cam back and put the loader back on if the loader isn't the issue?

The up ramp of the loader was trimmed to be at the same point as the bottom of
the original rock grate. 

What do you guys think?

« on: June 06, 2010, 08:25:59 AM »
I was asked today if a loader could cause engine rpms to be lower?   I don't see how
but you guys are the experts so I told him I would post the question.

He changed cams to a supposedly better cam and lost 200 rpms.   It's a 460 berkeley 12je A impeller.

The only other thing he did was put on the loader.  I vote cam.

Opinions?  Tom??

I'll sell it for $250 PLUS shipping.  The ports and insides are untouched.
It's cleaned up and ready to go.   If it doesn't go FAST I'm going to Ebay it.

What size acc pump is on the back?   50cc's front and rear would probably knock that
right out of it.
It sounds like your plugs show good mixture being chocolate.
