Lee (69Kona) is building the motor and pump for the boat. Hopefully he can chime in on the specifics of the motor build.
So far I've stripped the interior and most of the old rigging from the boat. The plan is:
Bring back the shine of the floors.
Replace the fiberglass tanks with aluminum or stainless.
Repair the interior wood since the material still in excellent shape.
Re-rig the boat as clean as possible.
The motor parts were polished at one point, but after sitting for fourteen years outside they were in sad shape. My focus on this project lately has been painting and polishing all the parts going back on the motor.
Next up is fiberglass work! One fuel tank is out. They laid these tanks up thicker than some boats I've seen!
The pics below are from the day I brought it home.

Zero decked the block
Milled the G heads for smaller combustion chambers
I went to a 45* seat angle instead of the stock 30* on the valve seats and put the big valves and isky valve springs for the comp cam 292
Forged pistons 10:1 compression
Oiling mods
Balanced the rotating assembly
Motor will make some killer torque

Be careful when tightening those valve covers. I have the same ones and snapped that bolting flange real easy.
Looking forward to see how it turns out.

I've talked to a couple guys that owned a Mandella flat. They don't handle like a typical jet, but nothing weird. We shall see!!

I decided I wanted the ignition box on the other side of the engine and also wanted to move the oil filter forward from its location on my original bracket. So, I remade them. Just need to polish them.

Wtf!!! What has California come to when can’t work on your own shit in you own house.Unfortunately, that's where I live currently. No street parking either. Where I lived prior I had two projects sitting in front of the house for months and no one cared.
Ultimately, it's better that I got myself a little shop space. More room, everything is inside, and I can work on it any time of the day and night. The other day I was over there until 3:30am making noise.

I used two existing holes in the stringer to mount everything. I hate drilling additional holes in a boat so I made the most of the two already there. I'm happy with the setup. It's clean, accessible, and will make servicing the filters easy.

Lee (69Kona) was the first to get involved. He built a badass engine and pump combo that should get this old hull moving!
Wes (Carrera202) worked his magic on the paint and brought the metal flake back to life. This boat had been getting beat up living on a side yard since '05. Also, thanks for the wiring tools that have made life MUCH easier.
Keith (Crewchief) rebuilt the carb. Rebuild is an understatement because it was GROSS inside. Now, it's sanitary and dialed in for the engine combo.
Joe (Flusher) I appreciate you coming by and scoping out the project!

. I think I read somewhere they flow a bit better and give a little bump in HP over the regular headers.
Are they closer to the gunnels than the other set?
