 So i just ordered a jet marine oil pan from armandos super pumped to get it,he said he could build it in a week for me since he has one ahead of me! so know i need a m84d hv oil pump to go with it ! The only thing that bothers me is that everyone is always saying in a jet boat they run to cool to burn off the moisture in the crankcase !I cant let this one slide i wish there was a way for no-water to get in my oil ever!!!! I am looking at the hardin marine thermostat kit for $259 but some people are saying there garbage and some say there the only way to go to keep the proper temperature ?    i am gonna run a 5/8 hard line from the pump  to a gate valve to a pressure relief tee that dumps overboard and   then a  tee and run  those two lines into the water pump block off cover then out the intake manifold to my h-2985 riser manifolds    or should i get the harmin marine t stat kit for ford 429/460?    i am looking to set up my boat for long term     do not want any hill billy rigging like it was when i purchased the boat from some dumb teenagers that was my first mistake in all of this but i am having a blast fixing all there damage haha     when i took it to the lake thinking it was ready to run like they said i fired her up and cruised out the no wake zone heading to our camp at lake kaweah   was cruising at 2200 rpms then i got on it a lil more at maybe 3400 and it blew the rubber hose off the pump that went to a gas line style ball valve no pressure relief so it was taking on water so i put the hose back on the pump tightened the hose clamp real good and thought i was okay but then my motor wouldnt get above 2000 rpms without sneezing hard and popping so i cruised super slow got to some shore and looked at everything couldnt see anything different so i just wanted to get to my camp were my tools were cruised over at 1000 rpm got there turned her off and parked her  so i was done after that but i still had to get her back to the dock so i at dusk i cruised her back at 1500 rpm and she was doing better i thought so i got on her a lil againup to like 3000 rpm and it blew the hose off the pump again but this time it split the hose open so i had to hold my finger on the pump to stop the water from coming in the boat and the other hand i pulled the hose off the bilge and cut a piece off so i could put it between the pump and the gate got it all back together and was heading to the dock at maybe 2000 rpm so i did not blow the hose again and before i got to the dock my motor started screaming at me hard and blowing oil out the valve covers so i killed it as fast as i could turn the key got towed by a js550sx stand up hahaha with the kid saying thats why i would never buy a jetboat haha whatever i said laughing with him and all that started this never ending money spending haha so my eleven hundred dollar score (i thought ) turned into a 3,000 boat and still have to buy some more stuff so thats my story bad grammar and all lol so know all i do is read and read and search forums for advice and spend money so hopefully i can cruise this baby at the lake without problems at least for a little while hopefully

here is a pic of the casting number on my heads !  im excited to find them saying dove-c     are these the desired heads or ?    and what pistons are u thinking  i should get?  also lakesonly if i run these cast pistons do u think the pistons are gonna be too tight in the cylinders since it was machined to be used for the street ? like i have read !  im definately new to all this so i dont wanna just go with what i have read and run with it i want some people like all of u that have been there and done that !also does anyone live near visalia ca that help me tune my engine at the lake i have cash for your time! again thanks alott to everyone helping me out i really appreciate it!!!!

I wanna get a good oil pan for sure i know oil flow is key to the bottom end ,i wish i could get a used one though really dont have 400 for a pan right now (my cash is at 800 left to get on the lake lol) The heads read dove -c  .I am not gonna run the edelbrock carburater either i have a holley 750 vacuum sec carb that has a fresh rebuild just gonna have to change the jets im sure but from my experience holley leads edelbrock for sure never liked edelbrock carbs!  i am gonna use the mallory distributor though because its a mechanical advance .i really wish i had a build sheet from the 429 but i only have receipts for the build so really i have no idea what its about! i know the dove heads are the most desirable haha    and i can see that the  pistons are cast and i know it has stamped steel rocker arms and trick flow pushrods from the reciepts ,      i am paranoid about the main bearings and the rod bearings though since the engine has been sitting for two years since the build is the assembly lube still there or should i pull the mains and re-lube it all?

sweet someone familiar with these manifolds so now im excited i have been  all alone on this boat so joining this forum is turning into a great idea (i have been on one other forum that really helped on a civic turbo build)     now its time for summer toys lol      so rivertard   thanks for helping me out i appreciate it allot     so if i run the water like your saying do i need a pressure relief at the pump still or is this open flow ?   and should i get the hardin marine thermostat kit for 259 i have read both positive and negative on this kit ? also should i run the high flow oil pump and the front sump oil pan i already have or should i get a marine pan with a windage tray?  the heads have mild porting on intake and exhaust and new valves stock size ! nothing too crazy at all but super fresh engine just looking to get on the water so i can build the first 460 i got with the boat.

So a lil update do not need engine anymore last night i drove to madera ranchos and bought a fresh 429 built at advance motors in fresno ca came with receipts and a brand new edelbrock carb 750 manual choke and a mallory billet electronic dizzy a new performer 460 intake manifold brand new hv oil pump and all reciepts from jegs and summit so with all that i only paid a whopping 800 bucks total so i scored ! but need to change the engine over to forged pistons and marine cam ,i need to buy a marine oil pan for a bbf 460 so pm me if u have one available i have cash !!! also wanna buy some nice logs and snails cause i have a set of h2985 hardin marine center rise manifolds and cannot figure them out im thinking im supposed to plumb them like a set of headers almost with a gate valve to control water flow to them,then i was thinking the logs are better cause they kinda pre-heat the water before entering the block im still researching it all so i will figure it out!!!anyone that has info for me look in the project section im gonna start a thread !!!
