Re: Let's see your engine

Got 4 of these powering us. One of them is apart though, and we only run two at a time anyways for fear of causing the 50 year old T-box transmission made by a company no longer in existence, to spectaularly fail<br /><br />

Re: Let's see your engine

This one is old news to some of you but for the others, this was part of my 31 y/o Gulfstream resto. It's a de-fuel injected 2001 Ford Explorer 5.0l w/ Fords best ever flowing GT40P heads, '69 351W roller cam, roller rockers, Edelbrock Performer intake and a 600 cfm Holley 4160 marine carb. All painted up using Glyptol as an insulating primer and POR15 Thunderbird Red Engine Enamel.<br /><br />

hehehe<br />Good eye QC!<br />That pump works the hatch rams. If I was keeping it I'd sacrifice the neat hatch opener and plumb in the tabs. The porpoising is almost non-existant with a few feet of chain in the bow. I still have to try the 24" 4 blade (23" 3 blade now). I think that'll do it. 67.7 @ 5100 rpm on Tuesday night. 2 people and 3/4 fuel. :eek:
