Well Mustang time for a new motivator.....

As my Vietnamese friend Andy said to me - "That not good"

Might as well see if I can get the old gal from 90-100.


Time for something new- the old one isn't recovering from this......

Sorry.

OUCHIE OUCHIE!!! :)

Find the coolest head on the streets now, and go for 427inches of DART small block Chebby... :)

As my late brother used to say about his Harley projects, IF YOU WANT MORE INCHES, STROKE IT... ;)

As another wise man said recently, "its all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits" :no:

Vic...yup..

2M -
Or maybe an aluminum 427 SB would be cool - Im thinking 588 BBC.

That ought to get it out of the box.

:D Why not an all aluminum 588??? Put Max, Maggie and the other kids on a diet of table scraps for a few months, they will live... ;)

Seriously, I think one of Gordo's SS engines would be the shizzy in your ride... He must have built 100+ of them by now...

Always wanted something like that for this boat, and new this platform wasn't indefinite especially at the output level per dollar.

I gotta say though for a mill I only moderately spent money on to begin with (poverty sucks) I realistically got 15 years of wide open running before pop goes teh weasel.

Seems if I build one or likely have one built - I might as well build one I can interchange between both boats if my ilmor 710 ever has to be pulled.

2M I'm certain Gordo makes a great mill, and that I'd really like working with him,

but Alexi gets my next chunk of motor business- after a decades worth of help on weekends and just general being a friend this one goes to him.

Here I am having an engine-gasm.
