Im almost all the way through the tear down proccess right now. Tomorrow I will be washing out the hull and prepping everything for the "beast" to go back in. Heres some of what Ive captured so far. I have no one to be snapping pics while Im working so forgive me if there are gaps in the progression of pictures.
There a little charred but its all at the machine shop now. 
These are all my goodies so far....More to come!!! |

Let us know how the alum heads work out, there have been many posts here about them. Looks like you have your work cut out for you, but I am sure the end result will be sweet.

Quite a project!!! I think I'm doing good when I wax the boat and change the oil.
Good luck with it. |

with shipping about 1200... they're only 1.90s. The 351W has notched pistons stock BUT I wasnt sure that it was a deep enough notch to facilitate 2.02s....So I played it safe. I have roller solid lifters, and roller rockers on the way. MSD ignition and Crane Fire Ball Coil.....Ive been trying to contact the doc about the Hi-Teks, someone posted about him getting a good price. Thats the next investment.

Nate, looks like quite a project. Definitely keep us posted on the results. By looking at the cam, I would assume that you're converting this to a standard rotation motor?

Do Aluminum heads require a closed cooling system like the ZR6?
Good luck with your project, many new cool parts! |

Its and 80 so the motor is already a standard rotation. CC didnt change that until 88 |

I think with the right setup the gear drive will do well. I helped a friend at home build a 383 stroker with a gear drive that achieved 450hp and will touch 8 grand if you want it to |

I read all the threads on heads before I made my purchase and it seems to me that I will be ok with raw water on aluminum heads. Especially if I flush the system periodically. And considering the limited # of times my boat will be on the water I think Ill be fine!!! |

Now your question kind of confuses me. A Standard Rotation Boat - Spins left (counterclockwise) when looking at the the prop from the back of the boat. - Spins right (clockwise) when looking at the flywheel from the front of the boat. A Reverse Rotation Boat - Spins right (clockwise when looking at the prop from the back of the boat. - Spins left (counterclockwise) when looking at the flywheel from the front of the boat. BKH |

Not my intent!
I understand RH and LH...you guys cleared the terminology up for me a while back However it's put, both my boats were RH...opposite a car...clockwise facing the stern Backfoot asked if he was converting to standard rotation. I took that to mean going from RH to LH. I asked because I thought all of the older CC's were RH. |

Get the camera out again, give us a good shot of the dist. drive gear or a shot of the prop.Either one will tell the direction ,LH or conventional/ RH reverse rotation.
Some the parts you have bought will work.The rear seal is specific to rotation,as is piston rotation.The cam is a LH, or convetional,and will not work with a RH or reverse rotation dist. The oil pump is the same for either rotation. Hope you did some research on direction before you jumped into this rebuild...boat dr |

boat dr, again please pardon my ignorance...I understand the rear seal and cam being directional. I don't understand the piston rotation part.

The block is at the machine shope right now, and taking into account the shape of the cylinders and the pistons I will not have to do any boring at all. But if that situation presents itself I will keep you in mind. Guess I started quite a thread with the rotation comment. I know my boat is a standard rotation motor for sure. I hope I led no one in the wrong direction by the statement I made.

No the pay still sucks. My mother passed away a little over a year ago and left me some money, so I am going to name my SN after her. I purhcased the boat on exactly the day she passed away. See she taught me how to ski when I was little and she was an amazing skier herself. I figured its the only way for me to spend time with her now that she's gone.
