Medical science is amazing!!! I didn't know you older guy's are having these things done. To bad these procedures weren't available while it still worked.

So what are people doing to there 302s?

gt40 heads or aluminum?

What's the best intake?

I see research cam tossed around a lot on here, what one exactly are people using?

Change to roller rockers from hydraulic?

I also hear about the HiTek exhaust manifolds, where is everyone getting them?

I know one guy on my lake with trying to get his malibu into the 50's. He has an electric rwp. Worth it?

Well I would like to know what to do first, last. How much. Winter is coming, need to collect parts for that rainy spring day. I also seem to have my engine anatomy a little screwy, you don't bore out heads duhh

What are the two circular things on the transom?

How do you like the shifter for skiing?

Did you "flip" the windshield?


I do like the engine color.    Is it a "Hammered" finish?

I would be way too tempted to spray sunbathers with exhaust water while starting the engine.

I would like to see how you routed the exhaust hose around the fuel tank.

I kinda kike the custom touches to your boat. Loud pipes, suicide shifter. Put some leather tassels on the steering wheel and call it a harley dresser on water!

it will sound exactly the same when located properly and under power, at idle or nowake speeds it will be quit.

Before you enevn concider engine mods you have to correct your mistake otherwise you will trash the new motor when you suck back water into the cylinders since a good amunt of water will always be in the exhaust hose waiting to be sucked back in.

Michael,
You'll need to add several layers of glass and resin to the inside of the transom. Fill the holes with a filled resin mix. Fair and then I suggest regelling the complete transom. I suggest using a aerosol from   Minicraft of Florida So you don't need to screw with a spray gun. Get their color wheel and find a close standard color of white. Blended at the hull side to transom corner and transom to hull bottom. A slight color mismatch won't be noticed. I see they now have a color wheel with all "off whites" which should be perfect for your white hull. White is a difficult color to match!!
