Yep...see page 26 November Powerboat..Great story:wink:

Built by Tyler Crockett.

crockettmarineengines.com (didn't see the engines on web site yet)

434cu in
.325 Dart tall decks
ported/polished heads
hardened exhaust seats for unleaded fuel
diamond pistons
dry sump oil sys w/ 5 stage pump and ext tank
6200 connecting rods
Honda Rod journals(interesting:)
titanium intake valves
Inconel exhaust valves
CMI headers.
Went from carb to direct fuel port injection
used original SB2 intake but added 2000cfm tbi, fuel runners and injector for each port.
compression went from 12:1 to 9:4:1

now the cool stuff..:)
dyno 760HP @ 6800RPM 629ft lbs torque @ 5100RPM
going for relability...the engine originally was built for 10,000RPM...now it turns 7000RPM " Its not even working"

pushed a 32 Sunsation from 68 w 325hp small blocks to 100+ w Bravo X with shorty's....original was standard bravo's..
Price 35K unitl the parts start running out...They have many of these engines for now as NASCAR is using the RO7 engines..

"the engine looks like they pulled it right from the car"

Impressive numbers for sure...:wink:

That is some cool stuff!

Is that the price Tyler is selling those? I somehow have not received my latest Powerboat yet. I did get a renewal notice for both subscriptions of the mag but that is another story.

There is an article on the September issue of Performance Boat Magazine about the installation of 2 of these, custom built for NASCAR Driver Regan Smith and his crew chief Joe Garone. Tyler Crockett stated that Regan Smith was scaired to go over 50 mph in it.

How long do suppose a Bravo will last at 6800 RPM?
