One of the winter projects. Rebuilding motor. Short block done. Heads nextcan't wait for summer!
One of the winter projects. Rebuilding motor. Short block done. Heads nextcan't wait for summer!
I'm doing the same project with my 454. Opened it up to replace heades with performer RPM's and found a mess. Bored over .60, dimple rods, forged 13.8 dome pistons. Will have 9.75 compression. XM270h comp cam. Bowtie intake. Using stock logs which I port matched. Headers cost to much and would be a hassle with my engine cover ( which I like). Hopping to make about 450 hp @5,200. Almost together and ready for boat.
Nicely Done Guys! There is alot of engine build up's going on. Here is my engine (505) ready for the 8-71 supercharger, intercooler, and 2- 850 quick fuel carbs.
T/R with 650's and headers and new floor and tanks plus some plumbing ....

It may be OLD ,it may be Slow ... but at least it's MOBILE !!!
Well just about got the new hardware done, then it all comes apart to be powdercoated,Polishing is done by 42 Johnny I highly recomend him, and the floors are going to get some veneer, and flowcoat, The motor is getting beefed up , sitting at motor guys shop , going to be a 496 with 13.5 to pistons, New Brodix BB2 extra heads , 700 lift roller cam, new tunnel ram with 2 dominators on top, Oh and a little squirt of nitrous.![]()
Sadly my pile is likely a winter, summer and then another winter kind of project. Probably wont make it on the water this year unless I steal the kids boat.
Hah! Damn, youre close. I'm right past the "Welcome to Silverdale" sign where Newberry meets Silverdale Way.
It's tough on open headers. Mason Lake might be okay on a weekday as is Lake Tapps. Alder Lake in Peirce County is good. Lake Cushman has been okay for some in the past. Not sure if it still is. The Snohomish River is really popular with the gang but obviously is a bit of a drive for you and I.
The bay here is good if youre not afraid of the salt water. You wont have a problem there unless its something like Whaling Days.
Hi guys, your are right about Mason Lake. We have a place on the lake and during the weekends you really have to pick the right time to roll. I go first about 7 or 8 am or durring dinner time 5 to 6 after that people just cruse the shore to check things out. I terrorize the lake in my 74 Skagen flat runnin a Fe Ford motor, lots of fun but I got to tell ya those wakeboard boats throw a hellava big so be carfull if you come down.
