Blew the 496 this weekend!!! :mad: :mad:
Looking for a good engine builder. Preferrably in AZ or CA. Need no less than 800HP. Thanks for any help and/or advice. This is your chance to spend someone else's money.

I think Gary Teague did Predator and Peto is the service guy. Predator is on the GT website as well.

Service guy??? Larry built those from the ground up. I just had major motor work done on the Skater by Larry and as usual it is perfect. It was said before, go straight to the top AND save money. Larry's 520-623-5373

I talked to Larry today for some quotes on a 580 short block and a 496 setup, I would suggest talking to him, alot of the circle boats guys use larry as well, seems to be a straight shooter.
Awesome. Will do. I am leaning towards keeping it a 496 as I just very recently purchased the CMI Sport Tuned Header Pkg for the 496 application and custom made stainless tail-pipes. All for a mere 46hundee. Man I've got some work and spendin to do....!!! :skull: Gotta rebuild my Banshee for the desert season. Gotta rebuilt/buy an engine for my boat. Put that on top of all the unfinished projects I have going on at da pad. But - the house always comes after the motorsports. :p

SoCalSouthpaw--Larry Peto is your guy. I am planning to have him bore out my 496HO, redo the internals and add a 3.3L Whipple-- its around 800hp for $14-$15K. Very good price for a new 400hp. His track record is great with all motors and this conversion is no different.
As for the Predator motors--Peto built them, GT rigged the boat, and yes Peto services and throttles the boat.

Does it have to be local...??? If not, there are alot of good things said about INFOMANIAC here on the boards (Marine Assault). He is building the engines for TRIDENT Boats. Check there site, there are a couple prices listed. :rollside:

Larry Peto is the man. I just picked up my motor from him, he built it 6 years ago 890hp over 200 hours. I had it freshened up and of course I decided I needed more power so Larry stroked it, 548ci..944hp
now I just need to get off my ass and get it back in the daytona
Larry's # 520 623 5373

Larry is the man, he did my 460 for me and did a great great job, he will not cut any corners, I have been dealing with him for over 9yrs and I have watched him get bigger and bigger, I have watched him tear down the Quads out of Predator so I guarantee you he built them, the only problem with Larry is he is very very busy! Good Luck go to Larry if you want it done right.

Oct 14 in Parker for sure, otherwise 2-3 times a week at Havi (not 2-3 times a year like Hallett AKA garage queen J/K :rollside: ). My friend here in town is bringing ten Schiada buddies (non HB forum) to the Parker dealio.

Larry Peto in Tucson for sure...
But what do I know? He only got my 496 to 800+ horsepower...
I was just there again last week.
It's a long boring drive back and forth to Tucson, but it's well worth it.

09-07-2006, 08:21 PM
Franky, don't be so hard on Bob having a garage queen, i'm worse this year, I think he's been out one more than me.
Hatch, man, i'd be gettin out of 2nd and he'd be a mile down the river :cry:
So you have only been out once? Yeah, Steve is pretty fast for an old guy.
Hey Bob, let's just build your garage ourselves this winter.
