Time has finally allowed my engine to be picked up from the shop, and put back together. Found a '72 block had it dipped and magnaflux followed by a .30 over, new bearings, new pistons, oil pump, and so on.

Had the heads reworked and installed some custom fit plug wires. Was timing the engine found out had a cracked dist (ouch).

Ran it for 10 hrs before really getting on it went from 2000rpm to 4000rpm like nothing, very pleased. Compression test cold all cyl 160psi.

Very pleased with the results wanted to post pics but when I up load them a tad to large 500kb think I'm only allowed 97kb. Anyway to reduce the image?

Feels good to have the boat back on the water.

I upload all my pics to PhotoBucket. Set the maximum size to 640 x 480, using the options link in the upload box and you can then copy and paste them in you iboats post.

Be fun to see the pics.
