So i was looking my boat over. specifically the intake for the jet and it looks like i have some of the epoxy cracking or missing.

My Question is, should i remove the intake? I really dont want to as when i had the boat flipped i spent time blending it in and filling the bolt holes with filler. Can i just try to sand off whats there and re-apply marine-tex or something?

I can grab pics later today if that helps

thanks
steve

Yea sounds like plenty of time but the funds may or maynot be there. Ill start looking for used parts next month

anyone have a torker intake for a 455 laying around? Maybe a 750-850 doublepumper???

Got a little work done today. I ground out a few of the stress cracks it had in it and filled them with duraglass. I also got the boat wet sanded with 220 and ready for another coat of filler primer.

I do need to repair the nose though so I'll get that done first.

Possibly, though i think the 750 single feed may be a little small.

Is it mechanical or vacuum secondaries?

I pulled the numbers off of it last night and it's actually a 650 sorry. The po told me it was a 750 when I bought it

Well thanks to the advice from a few members (Jake, Hal, and Wes) I finally got the intake out. This thing was a BITCH.

Unfortunately I did cause a little damage so I'll have to do some repairs.

And a couple pics of the mess that I have inside. This weekend I'll get it cleaned out and washed down. And start the fun sanding process. Though I do plan on getting the top half finished before I get to much done so I don't have to much over spray

Just to get on the water. I already have it, its mounts, and everything else needed. The plan is to throw the olds in so that I can get it going. Then build a BBC slowly.
