Looking sweet Chuck!

Ok so chucks 725 is dyno'd and in line for prep now. And I was able to get the final few mins of run time on video including the power run!! Gotta put it together as one vid now. Stay tuned!

Cool. Once I get the transom painted, I'm ready for it. Finished the (hopefully) last fill-and-sand operation today. It's nice and flat now!

The tailpipe/muffler rim rings are done, just need to cut the ID of the gaskets out.

 

[ILMORdude]

man this boat is gonna look killer when finished!!

The gasket fits into the back side of the trim ring with .010" crush. The gaskets are cut with a final ID of 4.90" to fit nice and snug on the pipes.

I couldn't resist machining a little accent in to the front. I'll use these both inside and outside. They were kind of a fun lathe/mill project over the weekend.

I painted my thermostat housings black.... kinda doesn't compare huh:sifone:

Very cool project Chuck, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Shakedown Cruise maybe?

Awesome!

Final topcoat is on, so there is no bare aluminum. I added a little purple tint and some prismatic powder to the clear as well.

I cut an undersized hole out of the transom on Sunday to see how things would go. My router template worked pretty good, and the lamination looks really solid. GlassDave and I were shooting for 2", so I guess I'll settle for 2.058".

Now, If I can just get IlmorDude to push my engine to the front of the line... :bump:

And I wonder why Victor thought the header gaskets were OEM, what would he think of these??:sifone:

[ILMORdude]

And I started prepping your baby this afternoon. I'll fire some pics your way tomm am. Are you coming to get it?????

 

[C_Spray]

Nope - You guys are shipping it to the shop, just like you did the stock car engines.

I don't have YouTube access at work, so email me a copy of the video, if it's not too big.
