Thanks! She’s all together (the blower), drive snout is on, gear oil in. Working on the camshaft end play set up rn then I can bolt the intake down, have some machining to do on the setback plate then top her off with the blower. it’s stinking hot and humid here today. 98f, good day to have the shop doors closed and the AC on… 3 Quote

July and august we get some hot weather. Usually not this humid. It’s nasty again today. Working in the shop with the AC cranked. Modified the blow off valve on the manifold to clear the distributor, intake manifold sealed up and bolted down, camshaft end play set, lifter installed. We’re setting up to pressure test the core on the aftercooler rn, while pops does that I’ll finish machining the set back plate then I can bolt the blower all down to stay (until I nuke something and have to pull it apart…). 3 Quote

Fuel system and final set up on the valve train she’s pretty much ready to fire. Need a few water lines and oil lines, make a set of spark plug wires… hoping to fire it next few days at least once before I go back to work. 2 Quote

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted September 9, 2025 Posted September 9, 2025 Sounds healthy, Sailor! I am used to seeing engines bolted to outboard motors, so this looks different with the drives on the rear and the bell housing in the front. 😃 1 Quote

Didn’t get to run it much but she’s pretty darn rowdy! It’s a V drive boat so the driveshaft runs forward to the V drive between the seats then back out to the prop. True inboard, prop and rudder. found this today, figured you guys might want to see… 4 Quote
