    Performance Engine Build...

    When building a HIGH PERFORMANCE engine for your boat, be sure to have your machine shop set up the bottom end with .030" clearance on the main journals and .050" clearance on the rod journals if you want GREAT oil pressure and want your engine/lower end to live...



    Also, run a 1050 dominator with soft touch linkage on any engine from 289 inches up to 350 inches... and be sure to buy the biggest hydraulic roller cam your $$$ can buy, dont worry about stock heads, they will do just fine...

    It will SCREAM...

    Thank you for the Hotboat.com post. Welcome to the boards. You will soon find out your post, although perfectly related to what the site Hotboat.com "should" be about, will now move down the new post oblivion. Enjoy the Fireball thread during your stay here at Hotboat.com.

    I'm building a 460 Ford with stock E7TE heads. Do you think this engine will work with well my Comp Cams Xtreme energy XR294HR? I'm thinking the Holley 2 barrel off my old 78 mustang should top things off perfectly too.

    Is that the same as a 3/4 race cam? If so it should work great!

    Excellent choice in carbs, be sure to jet it super fat to keep that sweet top-end alive
    Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.
