Lets see if we can start a thread about boats

[WESTERNAERO]

That engine is still way up there. However, you should be more concerned about the 10* strut angle. If you want to use all the HP you said your engine makes, you need to do a serious upgrade to the driveline of your boat. You are planning to put close to 1000HP into a 80 or 90 MPH hull set up to be a 70 MPH hull at best. Now is when a conversation about boat building and rigging should start. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people here that can help you set that thing up right. Since you have the floors out, now would be a good time to consider it.

SnoC, I agree that right now would be the time to change the strut and vdrive and all the geometry in there. But instead of this fucktard rant that you are on, why don't you explain to him why he should do this. Why do you "all knowing" vdrive guys treat this shit like it's some sort of secret? Quit bashing the dude and help him.
Yeah, he did start ranting about boating content, but that seems to be done now. But you're continuing to talk shit about his boat that he's obviously very passionate about. So quit fucking with him and teach him something or don't you know what the fuck you're talking about either? So please share with the class your knowledge if you have any.

if you run a pan lets say for a chevy 7" deep take away the 3" block thats a 4" sump about 2-3 quarts of oil, no good

Not exactly. A 8" pan on a Chevy is a 10 qt pan. The oil level is just closer to the crank.

[gn7]

I understand the limitations of a deep pan under a RB block. But lets ponder what he has said already. If he has a 10* drive and a 7* strut, that puts the engine at 3* angle. Does his engine really look like it's at a 3* rise? I know how tight it would be to fit that pan under the 456 B block in the B boat with those angles. I'm thinking dry sump if I go that route just to get the block to fit.

Its not just the pan. The B block is less than .200 taller than a standard BBC, but the RB is almost .500 taller than a CHEVY TRUCK!!!!! .400+ taller than a 460 Ford.
The RB is he tallest American V8. Only the 455 Olds come close, and its not dealing with a skirted block.
When you don't dry sump a RB, you're looking at one tall ass assembly to deal with and a crank a foot off the bottom of the boat.

That's not a rant. That is pointing out the obvious to a flatbottom person. And reminding OG how much he still needs to learn. Remember he is the person that jumped into about a half dozen non-boating threads ranting about a lack of boating content. Posted several things which turned out not to be true. Made some blatantly ignorant statements such as the one in my signature line, and the waits until the flat smart people mostly all call it a night, then jumps on and makes post after post trying to impress himself, as nobody else thought it was clever.

If he wants to learn he need only ask and almost everyone will try to help. You asked questions and look how many answers you've already received. I never claimed to be a flat bottom guru, but just like going to school, if you pay attention you learn the answers to the common questions. And if you want to learn this is a great place to do it.

And if you think that I was shit talking his boat, hide and watch how the internet works. He has a nice flat, which I stated. It just isn't the end all be all of flats. I like my boats too, but that doesn't mean I need to say how great they are every other post.

Thanks GN7. Didn't realize how much taller the RB block really is. Now I'm going to have to make sure the motor swap on the cruiser will still fit under the cover.

Hey SnoC, why don't you post some pictures of that Biesemeyer you have. It's been awhile since I have seen anything about it. Do you still work on it?

i said its a 10 degree strut and 12 degree drive

i did consider it but the cost involved would out weigh putting that much in that hull.. it'll be a good 90 mph i have it on gps at 92.6 at elsinore before ... so it will do 90 when its back in the water...i seriously thought of a new hull with a runner bottom try try or similar but none of my rigging will fit and oh well aim getting old and its not a race boat its just a dependable fun boat ...

just like a hemi block and there setting all the records not the bbd or the ford

Did YOU just throw the wedge into the same heap as the hemi???? Honestly???
You have something you can back that foolish statement with?
I have been to a boat race or two in my days, and the wedge is NOT setting records, nor do I think it holds a single record it may have set DECADES ago.
In its hey day, it was a second rate engine to the 427 Ford FE and the RECORDS prove that out as well.
