I'm not sure what you'd like to know. I built it 6-7 years ago, I don't remember much unless I dig out all the old receipts. Don't remember the cam specs but it's a Crane hydraulic roller. Edelbrock Victor heads, CNC ported by Rich at West Coast Racing Cylinder heads don't remember valve size. Dart block, Crower light weight rods, Probe pistons, can't remember who's crank is in there. BDS 8-71 blower and comp manifold. Off the top of my head that's what it is.Quote:

This is a wagon wheel! :DQuote:

Rudder shaft log is finished. 304 or 316 stainless, I'm not sure. Made it out of a chunk I had laying around. Nickel/aluminum/bronze bushing.

I have to say, I am very impressed and can't wait to see this this done. How are the floors and gel coming?
Sanding/blocking the floors and transom last week and was going to do some repair this weekend but the weather has put a stop to that. Looks like a machining weekend.Quote:
