Well that was a random pic although I do want the gate for what a gate was intended for which is on/off operation.  So for emergency yes a gate to close is good to stop water

Gates are not for throttling flow.  Yes you can hit a sweet spot on most boats I couldn't get it in the sweet spot had to use the Pressure regulator/relief so I eliminated the need to throttle any kind of valve for flow through my block by regulating pressure (using a gauge to set and see a known pressure)before it enters.  Im not saying anything to argue just saying how I experienced my block pressure issue to be solved.  The pressure is set before it enters the block so no big pressure surge from the pump and still has good water flow. 

I'll finish by saying this on your garden hose at home when does your Gate valve on your hose bib do most of its work = At first Open/close spot of turning the valve anymore from near closed doesn't do much.  So there is the problem of the gate to regulate.
Granted Gallon in Gallon out if the discharge is as large as the intake and the water rushes out the block as fast as it enters you wont have excess block pressure. Theres just no restriction your gate isnt doing much. 

Im gonna bring some analog gauges pump Coreolis meter pressure regulator and some beer over so we can play myth busters.

No doubt the gate is cheapest route all smack talk aside the relief setup fixed my problem on my boat and if you have issues with excess pressure I didn't believe when I first heard about it because I had to think about the process for a few days but I swear by it now.

Shit your right no one was suppose to see that photo from my phone.  My bad

You need this to keep your head gaskets from blowing.

I use it to blow GTs head gasket.

You cant have this one I got it for GT jets as a stalking stuffer.  Secret Santa SSSHHHH.

Alot of cam options but I always like the 6272989 cam for stock 454. 

I'm not sure what you are gonna do with the motor.   Or what RPM it turns.  Does it have stock heads?  Did you even get to see what RPM it turned?  Im a believer in Torque is king so dont go to big on the cam get one which powerband matches your Target RPMs

Hhmmm.

Im just gonna put it out there.  Sounds like a perfect candidate for a Relief Set-up

 

No its been sold.

I woulda got it myself by now anyway.

Whoever got it stole it for that price IMO...

Oh that bitch is mad she wasnt equiped like a man. 
God that pic and her video made me mad.
That is one messed up individual. 

I used cherry picker moved motor forward to remove it. 
Like he said remove motor or pump.

I cant let it go.  I dont hear Irish Italian Chinese bitchin or American Indians bitchin.  My Grandma grew up as a half bred Indian her dad couldnt get work because of it.  Her and her twin sister shared homemade dresses.  The family of 5 lived in a handbuilt shack in Oaklahoma.  Didnt have a freezer or fridge they put stuff in the neighbors ice box.  Went through Great depression dropped outta school 8th grade went and picked cotton.  Her brother served WW2 they jumped on a rail car came to Richmond Ca shipyard.  My Gma and her sister welded and were both Rosie the mofo Riverter.  She had 3 kids 3 jobs never once had a new car or tv in her 88 yrs and never ever bitched.  Not once did I ever hear her bitch.  Only thing came outta her mouth was how lucky she was to have loving children grand kids and food on the table.  Ive worked with day labor mexicans doing shit jobs nobody else wants and they never complained happy to have work.  I love all people except Canadians.  I love black people.  I cant stand these ignorant bastards thinking they are owed something.  Your race happens to lie cheat steal and kill the most.  Those facts alone are why people look at you funny.  Stop bitchin dont worry about the Government hoe bad white people treat you or shit on my flag that so many people have died so you even have the chance to bitch about it freely and improve yourself you ignorant fucks.  Meanwhile my toilet seat complexion ass will fly my colors proud and if you touch my property let alone my flag I will put my sights on you.  Okay Im done

Wow.  Get a rope

Exact reason I posted on craigslist that I wouldn't sell it to just anybody so some dip shit like you wouldn't drive my Prestine 76 hull into the dock cause they didn't know WTF they were doing and mess up a boat that's lasted 40 years without a scratch.
