build

It is crazy how dead it is over here. Well, I am getting ready to assemble a mild blown big block Chevy for someone, so I figured I would let everyone tell me what I am doing wrong. 😉 The build will be relatively modest as the power expected will be reasonable. It should last a long time in...

A few months I acquired this 19' 1976 Kindsvater from a friend, it was ordered in 1976 and never rigged. Currently the plan is a mild BBC with EFI (I know I could be dealing with hell on the EFI, but I have a plan if all else fails then I will resort to carbs), the rigging is being done by Don...

A friend and I are looking at building an engine from spare parts. We are looking at a Gen 6 standard 502 block that is currently a 565. The bore is 4.535 and the stroke is 4.375. We don't know the condition of the block yet but we were wondering if it needs to be bored out what would be the...

redoing a 78 daytona jet, twin turbo 6.0, holley EFI

Just picked up a 78 19 Daytona jet, going with a twin turbo LS(been racing a Turbo LS drag car for years). Have a couple of questions, what oil pan are you using ? the pump is set way back so nothing under engine, also the BB in this was way forward(to me) 30.5" transom to rear plate, 14"...

As most of you know, Samantha,s Mandela was totaled last August at Long Beach. Before we made it home some wonderful people in the boat racing community donated funds towards a new boat. (As soon as I get permission I will share) With the help and advice from other racers we are planning to...

If anyone has something sitting in their shop let me know..BBC Thanks, Matt

What would you do for power on a 21 feet tunnel?(jet,single or twin outboard) and why thanks I’m Leaning toward a single outboard. Being that It will give me alot of move in the boat and save on gas. What would sell fast too?

Hello fella’s, Been a while, enjoyed my 73 Stevens build for the last few years, and have now sold and bought a more family friendly ski boat as we have a growing family with two little boys (one due next month). Ended up landing a 1993 Centurion bow rider that is in need of a new heart...

Performance Boaters, After communicating with Dave (Jokorace) he encouraged me to create a build thread for my project. I have been out of performance boating for the past 20 years. After owning and restoring a couple flat's and hydro's I purchased this tunnel V-Drive two years ago, as the...

I'm needing some help on cam selection for this one. I would like to use a hyd roller if possible. It is a BBC 496, 8.5:1 c.r., Promax 320cc heads, SP2P intake manifold. The old style Gale Banks twin Rajay turbos and intercooler, Banks ext. manifolds ect. It's going in a 24' Campbell cruiser...

After selling my Bezer a few months back, I've been trying to decide on a good Delta cruise/lake hot rod boat to replace it. Always liked the TR-4s so when I ran across this one, had to get it. It's a pretty nice 1985 all original survivor and came with all the original rigging and sitting on a...

Hi all. I've had a few jets but this is my first in over 10 years and first non Berkeley. I recently bought a 76 18' Southwind with Jacuzzi WJ. Pump has a diverter but other than that im not sure, in the process of pulling it apart right now to see what it looks like inside. I'll do whatever is...

So, I searched everywhere for something, anything on building an engine hatch on an old jet boat but only found like 2 things. There is really not that much info on size, shape, design, material or weight. I figured I would post some stuff about how I ended up doing it. I do not know if it's...

489 Motor Build - Piston and Cam combo for 20' Aristocrat Jet Long story short, the motor that was in the jet boat was toast. Low compression on 3 different cylinders, 2 of which had 95% leak when tested with a leakdown tester. Needless to say, the motor is now out of the boat and at a machine...

So a friend bought this boat I posted about a couple weeks ago. This boat has about 25 hours on it and looks brand new. Long story short it spent many years in a garage stored away. It came new with a 460 Ford. It will now have a 588 Inch BBC Blower motor with a powerglide. It should run very well.
