its a 14qt armondo's pan....not sure how many doors it got...i havent had a chance to really look at it yet

« **Reply #476 on:** January 27, 2009, 04:21:48 PM »

the gunnel support i put in on the drivers side didnt take for some reason...so i ripped it out and re-glassed it back in....i think it took this time.

also, i finally put the bulkhead in that i've been meaning to.

tomorrow i gotta make the bracket for the new seat....then its off to jeremies to hopefully put the motor in.

i will put a J drain in the gunnel support to let the water from the front go to the back, but not vise versa. it bugged me when all the water would rush forward when i would lift

I bought the ford 460 from 2sav to get me on the water in the mean time. It will serve as my lake motor for the season so im not having to run 100+ octane everytime i go out....not to mention putting wear on the race motor.

« **Reply #488 on:** February 10, 2009, 12:32:47 PM »

also, the armondo's pan is on its way back to armondo to be reconfigured....the pickup tube was hitting the crank by a lot. Not even a little presuasion and intimidation of bending it could fix it.

and no, I wont be racing in havasu this weekend.

Thats what you think, its really a race engine with 14-1 C/R race gas is a must and its also a BBC in disguise

God im Bored

ya me too...this daddy daycare is getting old......

« **Reply #493 on:** March 19, 2009, 09:50:50 PM »

since the new motor is taking MUCH longer then ever anticipated and we are back to ground zero (bare block - all new rotating assymbly on order)....i decided to pick up another motor....i bought this from 2sav a month or so ago....tore it mostly down and cleaned her up...put some paint on it....spent several hours on it tonight.

I also had Terry (hdrider) hammer out the old pan and re-weld it since the last oops. (no pics yet, sorry!)

anyways....this motor isnt anything special and it will serve as my play (lake) motor since the motor in the works (race motor) will be a stroked 514 that will require expensive gas

anyways, on with the pics.
