Hey Ford guys I need some help! I ended up with a Tahiti jet boat in a trade and at the time the motor was not running and was told that it needed some push rods and a couple of minor adjustments. For the record I know the boat ran for quite a few years and from what I was told ran pretty strong. Well upon going through it I found some damage to a lifter so I pulled the cam and it had two lobes noticeably wore down so I began the process of trying to find a cam kit for it. The problem is I do not know exactly what has been done to motor so I began checking numbers. The block is a DIVE--6015-A2 and was not sure what bore or compression. The I'd on bottom of pistons was SRP 74 F which when I looked up it said that they were flat/inverted top pistons with 4.440 bore . And when checked I found it to say they were .80 over. The rods from what I see are C9AE 6210-5 which they say are 427 boss rods. The heads are C8VE-E. the cam in it was a comp UH1051 310B-8. Now I was told by guy I got it from which did not know much about the motor he had built for him says it was 10.1 comp. but a buddy of mine said it was 11.1. The other components on motor are roller rockers ..tunnel ram .. dual demon carbs which I'm not sure what size due to not being able to find any ID numbers on carbs. So here's my problem I'm not an avid Motörhead but half way knowledgeable so I go to my neighbor who is a lifetime gear head and ask him for help and he says that the .80 over is too much and so is the 11.1. So I know that this thing ran for quite a while and was told by other non biased people that it ran strong. What is my best path to take on this little freshen up job. I've also read a crap load of forums that say "YOU CANT GO .80 OVER ON A 460 " and some say that it is fine as long as it's an early 70s block and I believe it's a 71. So any advice would really be appreciated and with what you see here can anybody estimate what kind of hp this will put out? Thanks for advice it is much appreciated.
