coltboostin Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nice! Are you going to tune it on an engine dyno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nice! Are you going to tune it on an engine dyno? Nope, in the boat on the water. It should make somewhere between 725 and 800 and I'll be out of blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Won't even feel like the same boat with the new external steering I'm excited I don't have to worry about the cable breaking and the boat going out of control. :gabe: More progress: http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/F8AD31F9-D488-4FCC-AB60-33AAC8F45471_zpse6yrjpli.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/906BD8F3-AFC0-482E-A608-1D0F5B37C8E6_zpsequ4qpo0.jpg Back in it's home. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/7338A6D8-62C8-46A0-84A3-64AE5CB0ADE9_zpszydk1oll.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/0F93DE97-C0E7-4DB4-9BFA-7D31ABE6DEE8_zpsofpoygcx.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Just need to install spark plus/wires and set the timing. I can't wait to hear it run this weekend and get out on the boat. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/0D569844-F00B-4D82-885E-5DE28D01BD5F_zpsnaebhir0.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u57/playwithlinn/Checkmate/2D20695C-20C3-4F3A-A865-DA1E719FE88D_zpsede85ahf.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 We, it's alive!!! As always with my build I feel like I take one step forward only to take two steps back. I spent 5 hours on Saturday trying to figure out a wiring issues with the MSD ignition only to realize, I still had the factory key on and tach wire on the coil and the MSD wires. Once that was figured out, I was able to get the boat started and timing set. Take the boat to the lake, idle out, check the oil and it's milky. I had water seep up on the heads from the intake manifold during initial startup tightened the bolts and it went away on the top side but, now it's leaking into the oil. So I spent all Sunday changing the oil and will change it a few more times tonight. This has been my luck with this entire project. Note to self, don't buy used parts First fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Note to self, don't buy used I learned the hard way on this one too when I built my stroker for my Formula. Nice to see it running. As you know with all projects, it always takes some time and things rarely go as planned the first time. Be patient with her and it will pay off!

Linn1647545492 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Has it gone back in the water yet? I'm just waiting on the new intake manifold to show up from Dart. I've already changed the oil at least 10 times, so it looks good but, I'll need to change it every hour for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The new intake is on, I'll be at the lake today putting an hour on the motor for break in and then a quick oil change and possibly plug chops tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUMBLER1647545517 Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Motor sounds good, see you out there! I thought that was you I passed last week heading into the cove but no wave back.
