Duck, It turned out very well and looks great. Nice fabrication and assembly work it’s obvious you put a lot of thought into your project as you...

That bench seat is coming along nice! Is that the original windshield assembly or did you make it from scratch? I am looking for one for my 66 bench...

It was a sort of sad day as the Martini pulled out today on its way up to Cincinatti. Bill

I am almost certain the drive is a Merc III SSM with the long shaft. II or TRS drives don't have the relatively evenly spaced 3 retaining nuts on...

Yep, trolls thrive on responses. Back to ignore.

I voted with my wallet. Just didn't make sense to rebuild the old Alpha (for more money) and get no warranty, and definitely didn't want to spend...

Thanks Ghost - you and me both!!

Congrats! Interested in the sea trial results after all your winter's work...

Do you really think the SEI's are okay? I'll cost me only $1,500 + 13% tax....$ 1,695 And I can still sell my old 1:84...

Runs like a champ!! Fired her up this afternoon. Just had one leak pop up, at the banjo fitting to the carb. Mrs. dh and I sat in the driveway...

Glad you got her dialed in! I'm really impressed with this build - can't wait to hear how it runs vs. a stock 190hp 4.3 motor.

woobs, I've got a Gen II in the shop that would probably work for you, but it's got a strange noise from the upper bearing and it's on the other end...

That's great news Scot! Best wishes! :wavey:

Post up that schematic on the battery thingy when you get a minute...;) Phil S.

7,8,9,10, Hi George.. How are you doing tonight???..Ed

I'm having several people tell me that my drive may NOT be a Merc III drive, but a TRS instead. I'm not sure what I have, to be honest :eek!: I'm...

Jim, I sent you an PM. I'm very new to this site/registry so I'm hoping/trusting you got it.

what's the easiest way to got directly to classifieds? I keep putting it in the search bar. Surely there's a tab or something that takes me directly...

I have a Super Speed Master lower if you're interested.

...uhm, sold the Corvette to pay for the motor....

looks great im sure glad its getting done if you are going to make it to clayton for sure let me know I will be there for a ride I know were most off...

Congrats Woobs on getting it all put together and now ready to go. Maddad what are you going to do with that new Corvette Woobs was offering? That...

double post... :(

And the WINNER is maddad! at 31* timing we got a perfect burn, she idles like a kitten and pulls smooth and strong with great oil pressure... ...

Great info guys, keep it coming. I need to try and find some props to try.

Don't forget that the BBC engines are so much larger, and thus harder to work on w/less room around the engine. 18's respond well to potent SBC's...
