[Flyinbowtie]

This is gonna be another show stopper. Can't wait to see it on the water, nice work.

 

[rivergames]

Thanks guys, she's almost there!

 

[rivergames]

Ignition is in

Boat is completely plumbed (with the exception of the mechanical gauges)

I have matching gauge bezels on now

blower pressure gauge is installed

Billet Paddle is installed

Driveline is done (just waiting on driveline tube)

Tranny shifter is on shifting the tranny nicely

throttle pedal is hooked up. I drilled, tapped and installed a bolt that I will use for a throttle stop.

Alternator belt and blower belt will go on tonight.

I installed the exhaust studs on the heads. The motor sits higher than the previous motor so I need to have a new elbow pipes made for my lightning headers.

Turnbuckles are on. I just need to set the plates.

Tonight I will mount the seats and tighty up a few misc things. The boat is going to get wired after the 4th and then it is test & tune time

Thought you were taking it to GT to get wired?

GT looks like a great shop, but they wouldn't be able to start till the beginning of this week and it was quite a bit of money. Gary seamed swamped with other project he had to get done too. So I took it to GS last week :thumbsup

Thanks bud. I have been done running with APBA for a few years now.

We race with the Lucas Oil Drag Series across the country. It has been the best time I have ever had :thumbsup

Come down to San Diego this weekend, we will ahve 7-8 crackers down there.

 

[rivergames]

Well the motor in the schiada has to come out and get rebuilt. #1 cylinder leaked to 78% and there is water in the oil. What a nightmare :thumbsdown

Damn that sucks!:thumbsdown Mine isnt goin be ready for the regatta weekend either. Ive waited this long so why rush it now just for a weekend. Im sure you'll get it sorted out in no time!

 

[Marko]

That sucks Andrew! :thumbsdown

 

[rivergames]

Yea it fucking blows :thumbsdown

I've seriously been contemplating the idea of selling the fucker and getting a 25' Daytona and just enjoy the river

 

[Deangang]

What happened thought you just freshened the bullet in that thing?

Never took the heads off or tore the bottom end down. I probably should have, but ran out of $$$...

 

[Flyinbowtie]

Well that sucks. Hope things smooth out for you on this deal.

Damn Andrew, Sorry about the Engine! I was really looking forward to seeing how the 20 did with the blower motor.

My engine is going to Dyno this week

Any update on this one? Really like your boat.

Picking the block and heads up next week to prep, clean and paint. Then Tony with M&D can assemble it.

Had carbs rebuilt by C&J engineering. Blower rebuilt by Mr. Hampton. New cam, hydrologic lifters, pushrods, springs, rods and pistons.

Pretty much she will be as new as it gets. Been working non stop on the cracker and haven't had a chance to do anything with the schiada...

The past couple weeks I have gone down to Tony C's shop and worked on the motor. I pretty much get there after work and we bang on the thing till late at night.

I have never experienced a custom motor being built from scratch. Huge thanks to Tony for taking the time to teach me how to do this deal. You would never understand how many little things need to be done before bolting everything up. Custom motors and easily take 150+ hours just in cleaning, prepping, clearancing, measuring, grinding, and bolting them together.

This sat I am heading down to Tony's to finish up the motor and bring it back to my shop. Hopefully by the end of the day sunday, she will be bolted back up in the boat and ready to head to B&D Marine to get the wiring fixed after GS Marine fucked me on that

Are you going to dyno and tune first?

Nope. Not a race deal, just a river boat. I am gonna throw it in the boat, test it out and keep an eye on the plugs :thumbup:

I wasn't thinking for peak power but more to know where detonation is and make sure it's not there. Timing, boost, and jetting. That $500-$1000 can be good insurance.

Nice boat though. I think it will be fun!

Thanks! It was a blast when I had the merlin 540 in it. Solid 85 mph boat. Not she should be a nice 100mph river hot rod :thumbup:
