whoa...a cammer, what I would do for one of those. Those headers are trick.

[Moneypitt]

Give me and Art that combo and we would put the "Needles K wantabes" in the weeds..............MP

[olbiezer]

looks as if those headers came right off a ford gt-40.

Yeah...have you ever timed the cams on one of those??? :confused: But you're right!! :D :D
Simply way cool boat. I've made headers like that before...(well, not exactly like that, but close)...those took weeks!

Well that's one I don't remember, and the fact the motor is in the wrong way??unless somedy made some changes over the years!.. :confused:

[superdave013]

That's so cool. It would be nice to get it back to the way it was power wise and all. Well, at least now that that engine is gone.
But that is also the correct boat (even the steering) to re-do the Custom Speed and Marine's Kwicherbichen. Wouldn't that thing look mean with 2 big bolck chevy's side by side!

[dossangers]

Give me and Art that combo and we would put the "Needles K wantabes" in the weeds..............MPYeah Ray come show us how its DONE !!!!!! ''signed WANABE''

You guys play nice now! :argue: and Art was just having a senior moment. :rolleyes:

[steelcomp]

It's pretty simple....right hand steer, motor in "backwards"..it was made for right-turn racing!!!
And you guys call yourself experts! :boxingguy :D
