.4 3/4 stroke..
A 461 CI with a 4.75" stroke? Was that a typo? 4.75 would make over 500 ci.

[n8dawg]

what type of boat is it going in?

[Carlson455]

1977 Glastron Carlson CVX-20

Do you always break your engines in at an idle? :confused:
The Cobra sounds hot! ;)

[Carlson455]

no...jus his first start up...after the first complete cool down...and checking of the rockers and such...he'll continue through heat and RPM cycles...
