Heads are on, and done. Logs are on and done, fuel pump block off is on and done, water pump outlets are done, waitin' for pushrods. I need to sadblast the intake before I go to the lake with Marc. Running out of bolts. A picture is worth a thousand words.

looks good hotrod, i really like the valve covers

Pr Comp roller rockers by the way...

that is one good looking engine.

looks bitchen hotrod if u want to run headers let me know a freind of mine has two sets one new one used  both jet hotted rewarder twistys cheap

Today was a successfull day, kind of.   

I got my garage cleaned, raised the engine up with my (choose a racial explitative) cherry picker, moved the boat into the garage ( ! ) , lowered the engine - and met hell.     Pretty much a major pain in the asss. I've been working on it now, after work, for 9 hours.

A long story short there's usefull info in here... if you pull an Olds 455 out and leave the srtinger mounts on the stringers, and you're putting in a 454 Chevy, leave both front and rear stringer mounts where they're at, make 1/2 inch thick spacers for your front engine mount and BAM     you're done.   

However, if you run into a snag say, and suppose the driveline don't go into the pump,    , and then say you TAP the yoke with a hammer, and the yoke gets stuck in the damn pump and then you pry out the yoke outta tha pump and you break the pump and then you steal a driveline from a friend (Hi Marc) and it don't even fit and then your sandblasting a yoke in the dark and it don't go in and yer like what the              so you work on it some more you finally get the damn @#!^&*%@# yoke in there and you can bolt the engine to the mounts and ONE hole lines up so you drill out the rest (stringers are freakin' beutifull in this hull brother!) and your bolt the stringer mounts to the engine mounts and you run outtta bolts but its 12:30 in the morning and your starting to get faded     and then you sit down     you stare at it, do this do that     take a couple of pics and say - DMN THAT WAS EASY!   

NOS.     150 Super Shot

I bought it used, no instructions. Does the fuel or the NOS solenoid go in the front of the engine, does it matter? Anyone know out there?

What do you think of the bottle location? I can't have it where it's normally put in the center of the front of the boat with the handle towards the driver (ME!) because I want easy access to under the bow for life jackets and crap.

All I wanted to do was set the bottle on the floor, but I just had to remove the fire extinguisher bottle bracket to do it so I got a screwdriver to turn the 2 little phillips heads screws and that didn't work so I got a socket and ratchet and THAT didn't work so I gots me a freakin hammer and THAT WORKED!   

It seems odd to me that both of the Roger's that I've owned both had their cables going through fiberglass instead of through the pump or stainless grommets on the transom.   

Check out the pic of me sitting in the back seat, look how close that engine is to my leg!   

Damn that looks good!

The driveline is crooked because it isn't bolted to the PTO, I still need to break the cam in. It does line up really well.

Thank you and goodnight. 

I got one log on today,     I installed the oil pan drain plug today,   

My project took a  turn yesterday, have you ever felt buyer's remorse?     Yeah, I'm going through it right now. Pics of that remorse in a few days...   

But for now, here you go.   

p.s.: what's "the right way" (without fiberglass work) for me to align the exhaust log's outlet to the part on the transom?     Old Rigger?   

Rod,i posted an ad the other day from Craigs, this guy had a set of logs and some motor plates for chevy. I could prolly use the motor plates. .....someday. oh and there was a drive line too.   $200

rod it looks good
just a couple of things though, turn the scoop around and your oil filter lines they are under pressure sooooooooooooo,  i wouldnt want the hose clamps to fail and drain your pan before you noticed. what size are the lines. please reconsider with better lines.
jmho    ralph

I ain't racing (yet) so there's no need to turn the scoop around.

The line's are the buyer's remorse part, pics in a few days.      

yeah keep those nose of the bottle up a little 2 or 3 inchs this is to help it flow and you want a bottle heater to get the psi around 900 depending on size of bottle  the noids dont really matter your lines will just have to be longer also i put my bottle on the driver side next to the seat so u cant see it  and keeps it out of the way  oh the scoop looks great the way it is  u dont see drag boats with the scoop turned around its made to scoop air thats why they call it a SCOOP ralph  good luck
