Is this thing dialed in already? Why was the big motor not used here? Excellent work as usual Mike!

Speaking of cheek wrinkle…. That doesn’t offend anyone

Ooops wrong thread. ...sorry Jerry.

I'm very much NOT a Ferd guy, but I can support that (minus those wheels)

one of the better looking falcon years + a BB OHC engine, nothing not to like there.

A falcon with Cammer , you can post this picture in any thread and it would be appropriate!

That is one wicked car, I like it. I’m trying figure out what is going on with the fuel tank. Did they retain the stock fuel tank and add a sump where the fuel pump(s) reside? That sorta takes away from the back of the car but overall that’s a winner.

I found it on the Ford FE fans page. I haven't had a chance to search beyond the photo. I was hoping that @bonesfab or @Sharp Shooter would post up some info. and save me the time.

I decided to keep the big motor in the other boat. The tunnel depth on this one is much deeper compared to the Placecraft so I would have had to build new motor plates, fab new headers, new charge tubes, etc to install that motor in this hull. Basically, I'd be starting over and cannibalizing the other boat to do it. Once I realized I didn't want that monster in this boat I decided to make the new setup as compact as possible, hence the LSX. So far, ive put about 60 miles on it. currently running 80 plus mph at 8 psi boost. Drivability is dialed and she cruises awesome. The hull just eats up rough water and my Wife loves driving it, which is really all I care about right now. At some point I need to turn up the boost and see what's what.

Great to hear! Game Over is perfect with that set up! The ultimate Jet boat IMO. This new boat looks awesome! I hope you get many decades of fun out of her!

Brian, I have to say I was admiring that old Blue Oval as well, have you seen how they offset the mags like that, I have never seen one in that angle before? Looks awesome.

Hi Cliff,
Sorry just saw this.. I have seen those offset like that, but definitely a rare set up.
‘Mickey Thompson designed & engineered those front covers for the Cammer.
As you know that man was a true pioneer.

Hope your doing well

Had the old 1975 TR1 straight deck out at Parker this weekend. Just a great old school river boat.

I believe it went to Texas, but that would have been about 1986. Spent lots of nights working on the two Crusaders and this Daytona.

Is that a new UBF/K boat being built?
