Mission: You Wanna What? [LOL]

...or was that 72 beers? I love pilot testing!

I bet you could sell each for a grand then have yours free. would it fit any other bb mopars?

Interesting! They never mentioned minimum quantities to me. Maybe they figured the market for RH roller SBF's and BBC's is big enough to hold onto some residual stock? No one else must be building RH Chryslers anymore, ha.

Did he say that all 3 specialty cams had to be the same? Or could the 3 cam minimum be a mix and match of different brands and engines?

I am not trying to get anything out of it, I'm just not going to eat $1,333.32 for two cam blanks.

Steve said mine would be ground to spec, the other two could be hyd roller blanks.

Zach says they will fit any B/RB block except for the 426 Hemi (It's SPECIAL ).

Just started a new thread for the Hyd Roller Cams, guys...just FYI

Let me know your money schedule, brother.

I'll keep you on the list.

i might jump into that line up I wonder how i would fare

its wrapped for the winter and i forget but will look for you soon

12x15 OJ Peter?

Tony, youve got so much to learn... you need a half way decent hand held GPS that captures top speed.

Dangggggg Peter haha. I am shooting for 4800-5000. The Chebbies do like to turn some more RPM. I did not balance this motor and I selected a camshaft that should make peak power around 5000 rpm's but I will see what she likes when its actually moving under it's own power.

It's a .030 over 350 with Vortec heads a 3 angle valve job and flat top pistons. The cam is in the 260-270 advertised duration area and .450ish lift (cam card is at home). Clevite 77 bearings throughout. Summit dual plane aluminum intake with 600 Marine Holley. Pcm Manifolds are the plan. Put it together with budget being the main driving factor.

A 78 Sn box :(. Original was gone and we picked that one up for less than 80 bucks. It's getting orange vinyl and cream piping on the edges. Same with the rest of the interior. the side pods and hull sides got cream vinyl.

Have a set of Glenwood logs but they are to wide for the box.

What are your thoughts on the cam spec and RPM range Timmy?

Thanks, Tim.

Perhaps you could ride along and be my instructor?

After all, I am trainable.

I have some high speed experience...does 120MPH rotation speeds in a twin engine Beech Baron count?

I know. My dad did all the measurments and I might try to fit them under it while he isn't looking ;).Had I had my way the motor would have been in the boat 2 years ago. Dad and I usually disagree in the barn which makes for some interesting conversation!!! ha. The motor is on a stand so we could just screw em on the motor and drop the box over it.

With the lack of go fast parts and balancing I didn't want to put something together that would spin much over 5000 if at all. Also when I started the build with budget in mind I was limited to that lift or lower because factory non vortec heads require the valve guide bosses to be machined down to run higher lift or the or the retainers will run into the bosses/guides. I happened across this set of vortec heads from a 160 hour boat. (I lied I forgot I didn't do a valve job because I pulled them off a SBC hop up I did for a friend in a Baja). Picked up 10 mph still banging the rev limiter with a 25 pitch prop ;).

Peter, Im not sure if we ever figured out why your boat behaved so badly at the limit... too bad we only crossed paths briefly in NH (NE '11). No doubt some of those hulls run more planted than others, which can lead to some scary stuff. Not all of them do it, though- Ive driven a few of Reids good for 56-57, and while theyre a blast for sure, didnt do anything dangerous.

By "stock Merc 5.7" does that mean ~260hp? Or 300hp? Those Eddies are nice looking manifolds, and you fit them under the narrower glass motorbox, so my guess is Zach should be able to fit his Glenwoods.

Peter, I've listened to all your previous warnings believe me me haha. I figure with vortec heads good intake and that cam I should be in the 320-340 hp range. Close to a stock Apex performance. Limiting factor being the small thru hull exhausts(not sure how much that hurts). I hope it behaves nicely like Reids boats. High 50's potential? maybe knocking at 60??? Maybe the small hull does not like the driver on the left and the prop spinning left?
