Cam research also recommended stock type pistons. I asked about 93-95 ford cobra 1.7
roller rockers,Scott said to stay with a good 1.6 The ford/mustang sites don't care for them ether(not rebuildable, prone to "gronk's in the bearings. Gronk's = anything other than smooth operation.From what you guys say the weiand stealth is the preferred intake so that's the way I'm leaning.Does any one want the 2 piece efi intake from a 90 F150 351w 1st come takes it!

I appreciate the offer. Without doing an in depth study, I figure the only thing preventing me would be the additional cost of the parts to switch. I read somewhere someone pointed out it may get harder to get RH Rotat parts if needed in the future. How about Water circulation pump or raw sea water pump, are they different?

I guess I don't have a burning desire to make the switch, but if everyone recommends it, I would consider it.

The circ pump should be bidirectional and the raw water pump flips over (inlet becomes outlet) and is then fine, although a new impellor is in order although it probably is anyway. None of my RH parts are anything special but they were on a recently rebuilt running motor when pulled. I think the prop is in decent shape and therefore has some value the starter and dist if you were close enough to come by I would give ya if your prop was equilivent and something I could use I might do a straight swap and throw in the starter/distributor for you covering the shipping on both sides. Whatever my info is in my profile if you want to email. Waterdog, I agree the 1.7 ratio rockers are alright if you dont want to swap out a cam but if your going with a new cam anyway might as well get your lift there. As for pistons, a good keith black hypereutectic is hard to beat for performance vs. price and be sure that you end up with a compression ratio you want with the new heads.

JoeinNY,

I'm down in Baltimore. I recall Auburn being almost as north as Rochester.

Without looking at it, I'm pretty sure I have a 13x13 prop good shape, which gave me a top speed of 45mph(not sure of RPM, but I kept the motor all stock, no HO). It would do 0-40mph in just a hair under 7 seconds. Again, I don't have burning desire make the switch. I've enjoyed this boat for 20+ years and don't plan on selling, so resale value isn't an issue with me.

Very nice of you for your offer, I guess it sounds like I just have to make the decision to switch up. I want to get the engine ordered within the next week or 2, so I will get in touch with you if that what I end up deciding. Let me know if the 13x13 LH is good with you. What is your prop specs?

John, I'm curious as to why you put the LH in it back in 85? By the way,you must put lots of hours on your boats!

8122pbrainard,

This is the history of the boat as told to me by owner#2. It was used as a show boat down in Cyprus Gardens back in '79-80.(I don't place much credence in this story, but whatever.)

Owner#2 bought it then in '85 had to replace the engine and he, working in a Ford dealership, replaced it with what he had avail.

I bought it in '87 and did some minor top end restore work in '94. I would put on average 100 hrs a year up through the last year it ran in '06. I'm not sure how many boating hrs it had on it before I got it or how many miles the truck(70's) put on it, but that engine has lasted and been through one hell of a life with almost no problems.

btw, very good looking Atom & Tique you have there. They've obviously been through quite a lot also.
