Is the middle one run through a jack shaft?

If Bond-o is involved, it will be right.

I Guess Bobby still hasn't figured out that he's Married now,+ has a New Baby Girl this year...............">

He better hope she doen't remind him via divorce decree-one day.:^ If so, the boat and toys go first.:'(

oh ok, didnt even think about a jackshaft, if they are going to do that then there is room to drop a couple of more 502's, 5 would be awsome. or will they put in the new 572 that gm is now making

... hats off to you dood! I can't even muster the know how to do my impeller and carb kit. Does your friends boat fall in the 'cigarette boat' category if there is such a thing? Hope to see some video when it launches in the spring.

Wow mann! Thats some exotic ride, I could never ever have something like that, some guys just have the knack when it comes to finances. Does the engine bay have accomodations? You may end up having your own little throne down there. You guys don't screw around either looks like it's going together fast, happy wrenching. My little projects seem friviless after looking at that.
