Marauder 19

No worries doc. I am trying to get to the bottom of that whole engine removal story.

oh believe me Pete, Ive thought about it for 20 years.
in reality its a loaded answer.
with all intentions if we really boiled it down, a roots type is used to boost cylinder compression, i would also think the compressed air from a supercharger would also assist in pushing the piston down on the intake stroke and eliminating vacuum.
I think the turbos purpose is to supply more atoms of oxygen without the intent of boosting cylinder pressure (even though it may), I would totally agree that it would raise pressure in the cylinder, but not much, and that is not its purpose.
really, over the years, ive never had to go to this extent to think about it, but will do some more research. I will report back

hence the term "forced induction"

Gary,
I ended up going this route with Napa's own brand of carb cleaner. I couldn't find a source for the Berrymans other than ordering it on line and then having to deal with the Haz Mat shipping. So, I have a 5 gal. pail with the basket coming into my Napa tomorrow. $150 later!! !!! However, it wil last me a lifetime plus I didn't want to take the chance that my carbs wouldn't fit into the 1 gal. size!! My Napa guys swear by this stuff being a good product. Time will tell!!

thanks phil...i will get in touch with him.   anyone coming north and east out of st. louie?

Depending on price, it's at least a bunch of marine, and possibly reverse rotation parts that will be very useful! If the block is trash, you might get a good RR cam to re-grind, or thermostat housing, oil pan and pick-up, motor mounts, bell housing, exhaust manifolds (in case you sell the turbo equipment). Buy it! I mean how much for the lot?!

"Boat was used one weekend after complete Jasper rebuild."
And left for how many years??
All things considered I'd still would have probably hooked onto her and dragged her home by now if the boat was in New England.

seems to me just the parts would make it worth it.. if you consider the time investment tracking down every odd bracket nut and bolt.

The one in St. Louis got away from me. It was everything I needed but could not get there in time. Still looking.

I got a friend who was recently hired to dispose of about 6 old wood cruisers at the local marina....I will ask

Was winning bidder on a 1969 southwind that happens to have a 318 Chrysler and tranny.

The price was right and at least I have something to start with. If a big block happens to show up all the better.

yes i will be parting it out and yes i thought the deal was very much worth it.

I talked with the seller as well but was too far for me to be really interested in another parts boat. Thats a great buy for your project and will be a nice combo to get you on the water at least!

Let me know if you're going to get rid of the bucket seats, thats really the only thing I was interested in from that boat.   cmars(at)baproductionsinc.com
