The No Wake Zone / Sutphen Super Pacer fuel tank
« on: July 18, 2023, 06:35:45 AM »
Good morning looking to see if anyone has removed the fuel tank from one of these.
 I am just getting ready to put it back in the water and decided to pressure test the fuel tank to make sure it didn't leak.
 What I did was blocked off the fuel fill and vent at the tank. I set up a tee fitting to screw into the suction side that had a Schrader valve and gauge so that I could read the pressure and it would hold in the tank.
I can't seem to get over 1psi. I do hear air leaking but with soapy solution can't find it. My guess could be leaking from the sending unit or the tank itself.
Anyone be into one of these yet?

ok so I finally purchased a set of Berkeley center rise manifolds. I laid the gasket over the ports and found a lot of material that could be removed to help them flow better. I have included some pictures of how they look with one of the ports already started.

ok so to update an old post.... the engine is now done we made max torque 526@3800 over 510ft.lbs all the way out to 5200rpm
the horsepower came out to 500@5200 rpm. hp was still climbing up to 6500 but did not care about the numbers after 5200rpm.
Berkeley recommended an "A' cut impeller but use an inducer-
the specs for the engine are as follows,
460 .030 over
SRP flat tops 10.3:1
comp solid roller .634/.634 236@.050 110 separation
Performer RPM 60669 out of the box
Performer air gap intake
850 Holley flowed to 930cfm
exhaust is Berkeley Ported center rise manifolds that have been ported.
looking for a good cruiser to make some noise and go fast.

I am not sure why they did that. The breather was located on the top of the port valve cover in the forward position and the PVC valve was located on the top of the STBD valve cover also in the forward position These holes would have been towards the back side of the engine .
I am not sure if they had fabricated longer tubes at one time for extended breathers or not or possibly they had tried to setup a catch can as you described.
 I was going to just use push in plugs but found a set of M/T finned aluminum covers which I like better.

Ok members be careful of who you deal with here I know it was a stupid mistake on my part trusting someone I didn't know.....
quick details are breej turned me over to his buddy selling a set of center rise BBF manifolds.(prrt57@yahoo.com) I contacted breej before doing any deals and he stated that he has dealt with him several times. 
long story short I spent $350.00 for nothing in return.
I have bought several parts from other members on this site with no problems and thought that possibly I was dealing with a real gentleman.

moderators please let me know if this is posted in the wrong location.

Nick I may be interested in yours once I get my money back that has ben scammed. I had someone from the site contact me about someone selling a set but right now I'm out the money and no parts as of yet......would have figured that after 7-8 days they could have sent out tracking information so it leads me to the fact that I got scammed.
Who is the moderator so I can let them know?

Road runner thank you for the information on the adapters. Hopefully I can find a set a bit more reasonable but if not I guess I will spend the money. What would you recommend for exhaust that may flow better than the Hardin logs? If I find a set I may just dump the idea of the Hardins and go with that.

Hello new here to jet boats but not to building engines. I've got a 460 that I am redoing trying to keep it dependable but putting some decent parts in it. Block is going .030 over with a .000 deck, heads are Performer RPM 60665,Pistons are JE flat top -3cc, intake is an Air Gap Performer RPM, Holley 850cfm mechanical carb. I've heard about issues with oil pans so I went with a Dooley 9 qt.
OK so here comes the question Id like to use a solid roller cam but not sure about specs. I was looking at the Comp Cam site and thought the 34-803 or 34-850 looked a bit to much.
Anyone have any first hand experience other than to call comp?
Boat is a 20' Sutphen

The exhaust sits fairly high.  I looked over all the engine parts and found a bunch of junk. stock heads,std valves single spring, hypereutectic flat top pistons and football rods. Intake was an Edelbrock air gap Holley 850 engine is a closed cooling system.
 combination of bent rods, pushrods and heads pretty rusty indicates it ingested plenty of water. No block when I purchased so I cant look at that.
The headers are rotted out at the first bend right after the flanges, It looks like they may of had too much water from the jet and no relief valve. new to this so I'm just trying to keep it simple.
 I have a virgin 460 block now at the machine shop getting squared up. The crank was junk so now I have a 10/10 factory one and the rods will be H or I beams. Pistons will be forged I'm not sure yet on which ones it will depend on the heads. I have a line on a set of Motorsport aluminum heads.-not looking for a lot of torque and HP I just want dependability with some performance.
 I've heard that they Bassett headers are not recommended for a closed engine compartment.

 Can anyone elaborate on this

Hello I m new here and new to Jet boats. I picked up a 77 Sutphen Super pacer with a 460. Previous owner had a set of Basset water injected TT headers on it. I dont think he had them set up correctly and filled the engine with water.
Here is the question,
It has 4.0 tips with internal baffles and I have a set of Hardin log manifolds and snails  I would like to install. The snails are 3.0 outlet and The Bassett had 4.0 outlets,do they make an adapter or different size snail or can I cut off the outlet and weld on a 4.0 aluminum pipe?
