That's good to hear. Always liked that boat. Yea Paul, that's a hot flat deck. I think he's running PSI blowers and number 6 drives.

Did you buy that from Scott Grady? He used to be on the boards all the time.

I saw the old Bud Select boat racing in St. Clair with a pair of those engines. I believe that was a 45 footer and they were running down the back straight at 170. Your little boat is going to be a...

I am so sorry to hear that Frank, sounds like you were there for right up to the end. Your voice must have been one of the last ones she heard before heading up to heaven and I bet that was a...

the problem is the Canadians are not as vigilant as we are. I just took a business trip and drove through Canada to upstate NY, when entering back to Canada via Buffalo the cars just whizzed through...

Good luck John! Keep an eye on the oil temps and pressures. :driving:

OOPS, I didn't know it was a secret. :confused:

Make sure it's a Tilton. Stock style starters don't last long with a 540.

I had one with 330's. Swapped in a pair of 420's and picked up 8 mph. It was a fast boat in back in 1986.

No need to change the carbs. They can be adjusted. Send them to Nickerson or Pro Systems if you don't think you can do it. Mirages always slip a lot. Changing to Bravo 1's will make a world of...

Single plane. You will have plenty of torque for any purpose. I would not just put this engine in and run it. It's about 20 years old and who knows what condition it's in. It's filled with very...

The 575 was an option several years before the 500 Bulldog. A friend of mine that owned a marina put one in a Camaro SS396. It was copper colored and the valve covers said Mercury Racing 575HP. :) A...

Don't worry, if the usual pattern holds, he'll have a lot more in it soon. :ack2:

That's almost as good as boating. I'm not going this weekend either. Hopefullt next weekend. My right arm is like a wet noodle. Guess I need to do more 12 ounce curls.

Tide came in?

It's going in the Crockett Rocket. D*mn that thing is going to pull hard out of the turns! :smash:

Round pieces look like internal parts of a lifter. Was this engine repaired and not cleaned out properly by someone before you got it? If they are lifter parts, that lifter is no longer working, not...

It's always easier to have it done by someone else. R & ring a couple of engines on a 90 degree weekend is not my idea of fun. Hope it's done soon. :)

Looks like we can attempt it then. No promises but something to work towards. Glad to hear your boat is coming along. Who's installing the engines?

Hey John, it's been 5 weeks since my surgury for the broken collarbone. Doctor told me all is well and I can ditch the sling and work on getiing my range of motion back. I'm looking at getting out on...

Bob C.? Bob Costa (sp?) owns the stars and stripes Scarab pace boat. Thanks for the pictures Paul. :)

Looks like some delamination on one of the sponsons towards the stern. Sorry we missed you Rob, Ian.

It might be that the cam profile is too severe for an endurance engine. A drag race engine only has to run for a couple of hours total between rebuilds. I was really surprised at how soft the ramps...

I see your engine has a Wieand X-celerator intake on it. That's original equipment. If it has Crane gold rockers it's definately a 420. Someone changed the exhaust from the original.

That's a strange mental image. Kinda like the flashback memories I had after 3 weeks of Oxycontin. Yes Paul, we are planning to be at St Clair. Just not by boat.:( Are you racing a boat this year?
