I got it in the water right after Labor day Last year. I haven't put it in the water this year as of yet because I'm changing the cams to roller and different oil pumps. Ran out of money last year because everything needed replaced. Flat tappet was all that was in the budget.
Just got the new cams, lifters, timing chain covers and springs Friday. So, hopefully this week, I'll pull the motors back out and change the cams and oil pumps. Oh and put on a new drive I got this spring because one was borrowed.
