Hello all, this is my first post and introduction since I bought my boat about 2 years ago. It is great having this forum to reference from.
It is a 1990 with the 460 and KC since I bought it I have rebuilt the drive and purchased a spare in case the inevitable happens.
Now that I have that taken care of, I am building my engine up.
so far.
Closed cooling, 552 stroker, edelbrock heads(original exh port location) long tube double wall headers (304 stainless made at my house) and of course the usual cam and 850 CFL carb, etc...
my plan is to keep the revs around 5000 to keep parts together, is it really true that rpm kills out drives or is it just power in general? No, I don't water ski and gun it out of the hole.
As for planning my prop do you have any suggestions? I was thinking something around a 26-27 prop? I should be making somewhere around 600-650hp, but that is only a guess. Do one brands work better than others?
hopefully the attachments come through.
