I love the seperate exhaust dump. (huh, huh, i said dump) -that's for you sean.

thanks guys.
The water dump on the transom is from the chiller. I still need to tap some threads in the fitting and play with inserts to restrict water so I can get the chiller pressure correct. Need to replace a fitting on the oil pump that keeps dripping and some other odds and ends. I will feel great once everything is buttoned up and "cleaned".

Chris, I can't do squat about an outdrive until I sell some property.
Believe me, I'm hating it. I have taken a vow not to buy with out cash.

Does that mean you've finally made a decision (that doesn't involve fiberglass)?

I'm going with the scx drive. I already mounted up the HP imco gimble assmy. I purchased the assy with the "helmet" for the scx. no trans and a bolt up application.
The boost is only at 5

tom that motor is awesome.
my bilge is downright shameful in comparison as far as cleanliness.
I will have many questions next winter when I rebuild my motor and redo my bilge!!!
Wonderful job.

Hey Tom. Got your message. I'll give you a shout tomorrow. I really dig that external oil pump deal. I had a dry sump belt come off my race car the second time I had it out... total heart attack. I had a very bright idiot light in the dash panel though, so I shut her down as soon as I chucked the belt.
What oil pan are you running?

I was just considering a low pressure sw. I'm also told that the pumps are very reliable.
