Meh, if I had a tinny, I'd be on the water already...where's the fun in that?! Aren't hot rods supposed to take 10 years to complete?

Thanks, guys. It's just a 45hp. Shouldn't be too heavy. The rack shouldn't be to difficult to build,I think I might just have enough lumber around. And I do have an engine hoist.Patrick look down in the completed restos area below this one theres a nice wood outboard stand and how to do it there

Not for long! I plan to do a similar build to what the horsepower TV did with their budget big block. Not because I want it to be cheap but my god they got 390hp and over 500 ft/lbs at 2000$ and it remains streetable as stock. Nothing crazy, all I want it tourque as I pull my Jeep and boat with it. I may do a 3/4 ton swap on it, go to a full floating dana 60 in the rear with heavier leafs and box the frame so that I can use it for my truck camper as well.I think you are thinking of a later model. My truck is a tank, and was offered with the 460 even in the half ton. Also, the suspendion is solid axles with coils in front and leafs in rear. Front dana 44 rear 9". It is more than stout for a half ton...Oh and WOT for a stock 460 is very unimpressive trust me. I believe is is rated at 190hp
Yeah I wouldn't imagine the original 460 being that impressive at WOT, but with a powerplant like that the sky's the limit. Plus those types of engines are most impressive with the low end torque. You might do it fast but you can pull a house off it's foundation with it....
Thats what I used on my floor too. Wish I would have read, or found, this sight beforehand. Not sure if resin will stick to the stain.
OO..Gunner, I started on my transom again yesterday. Ah, your choice of words are on the mark. I finally tried Andy,s idea but didn,t work. So I went with Jones idea but used my gas saw. All was working well till it stalled. Don,t beleive the old saying"the older you get the wiser". As I went to restart it ,the saw kicked back and my hand slipped off the rope. I can not move my hand this morning and thinking of going to the ER.
Electric is def. better.Duh...
I have an electric chain saw but you couldnt pay me enough to weild that thing in such close quarters You are F ing crazy my man! Thank god you can still type to tell the tale!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man that has to hurt!Ya, my stupid. 2 stiches inside and 5 out. Another delay on the boat.
Hope you get well soon.
