Did the dual tunnel ram for the Olds come with the boat?
If so, and you'd like to sell it- I'm a buyer.

Yep. Super Jet. And yes I scored the tunnel ram too. Going to use it on a new motor. Trying my hand at some upholstery work for it! Before and after. I think the white will look better then blue

Another pic

The pic of the inside shows the short block . Seen enough olds blocks, I can recognize one with my eyes closed.
Good score on the t-ram.

Don't know if I will need to. It feels solid. Once I get all the old carpet and everything striped out I will get a better idea if I will need to. Is there a reason you asked? Is there something I need to look for?
Just going to run a pissed off olds motor so I won't be making any big #s for HP. Probably won't spray more then a 150 shot.

I had some wet rout so I pulled the floor ran a 2x6 from the engine bulkhead to the deck bulkhead then attached the floor to that and re glassed everything. Super strong

I have never had a Sanger, but from what Iv heard/known... The SJ are prone to cracking on the floor right under the driver seat... Check there...
If you plan on building a warmed over Olds, make sure you pay big attention to building the lower end correctly.
Timinator wrote a great article on how to correctly build an Olds for power and reliability.

The drivers seat did have a few extra mounts on it, probably a good indication of the crack your talking about, thanks for the heads up.
Plan to run H-Beam rods, forged flat tops, balanced assembly with rear of heads drilled for 1/2" oil returns to a 10 quart dooley pan. Built a lot of motors never had to many bottom end problems! Good rods / lots of oil / and balanced. And know when to let off the skinny pedal.

You really need to read the article I indicated.
Doesn't sound like you have a grasp of what actually needs to be done to the olds for reliability. Your h beam rods without the right prep and machining doesn't mean much.
Olds engines for jet boats are completely different animals than any engine you have or will build.
What heads you plan on running with these "flat top" pistons?
