Are you ready for.....................a new truck.;)

[DansBlown73Nordic]

John, did you forget to tell me something Wednesday night??????:eek:

[shirkey4750]

Not mine, this just happened yesterday. Hope to have pictures today. But I don't know if MikeT will be able to stand the pressure when he sees it.

[shirkey4750]

Rat, what color is that truck? One of the local dealers had a club cab in your preferred color.

mikeT is a wimp, yes, but he can take pressure.

Well, I see HNN (Hillbilly News Network) has struck again. I hear the Enquirer is hiring. Lot of possibilities there.
Damn, I thought the news was safe when I didn't tell Dan about it when I talked to him at 7:30 this morning. He spilled the beans early about the last transaction up there.
John
Dan, may have a lead on a head for you.

[DansBlown73Nordic]

Oh sure keep the news from me.......I see how you are........:p

Cute little "lake boat", Jim.
Is this just to pacify the "Hot Boat family" or are we going to go racing this year? It seems like you're getting old and "selling out". I know, more impressive to run 60 and throw an "impressive roostertail" than to run 145 and throw a much bigger tail in a hydro. Too bad, in the hydro you don't have the option to look back and revel in the glory you've done for the enjoyment of others.
So I suppose you're now going to bow out and go to the Anna thing and not take a chance on me busting your ass at the first race (with your old boat).

Looks just like the one i used to have. Yesterday! I hated to see it go but i have to much stock. I hope you like it Jim.
Guys i do have another jet for sale. It may not be quite as pretty as that one but it is plenty fast and not as much money. I'll try to post some pics tommarrow.
066 try to chill a little before you blow a head gasket. I do wonder if i can get in the BLOWER B S CLUB now? There was an interesting trade in that boat deal. HUFF,HUFF,HUFF

The motor is out of the boat now and the Littlefield 8-71 is fast approaching installment. I might be persuaded to part with that lovely scoop for the right amount of money. By the way the Torker manifold and the vacuum secondary Holley are for sale. Plus a MSD 3 stage retard box with several chips. Along with a 12 volt Chevy aluminum water pump, almost new. Gettin ready for a garage clean out sale.
Thanks for posting the pictures John.

[Liquid Invader]

Is that an on engine or will it fit in the floor of a hydro? Don't forget i need to replace the fire starter.
I have a couple of sets of v drive headers for sale too. The blower may get a set of zoomies.
Tim i know that you wanted a boat like the one JIm bought but the deal was done before i got out of Charleston. You know what hey say (money talks) and cash (SCREAMS). We made a deal that was good for both of us. I sure like the Blower Motor. That is just what the doctor ordered for the Cole flat. Now we can both go to Lake Anna and ride with our buds,
THE YOUNG BLOOD IS STILL FOR SALE. WITH OR WITHOUT MOTOR. FAST,FAST,JET. LOTS OF NICE HARDWARE. 106MPH. AND THAT IS NO BULL

Blown alky drag hydro (some assembly required). Not very suitable as lake cruiser......Will trade for any type of lake boat. Just let me know how much cash you want to boot.:)
No steam, Bill. I have finally seen the light. Isolation can prove to be a terrible thing. Hmmmm...Why do I suddenly feel a connection to cult brainwashing tactics here?
Later,
John

I thought i would give everybody a chacne for the trade but it seems that nobody wants that uglyass hydro. So here is a deal for you.
I have a 75 Checkmate with a stock 350cid. Misses some but does run. Interior is a little rough but could be fixxed for a couple thousand. Paint faded, Trailer needs wheels and tires. Oh pump could use some work. Other than those small things it is a very nice boat. The good part is, it will run 45mph sometimes, the miss you know. IT DOES HAVE A JETOVATER, WILL THROW WATER 200FT.
OK here is the trade, I'll take the hydro,if you paint it and get rid of all those flashy pearl colors to some solid color and about $6000 diff. That is, if you will deliver.
I think this jet is just what you are looking for.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

update
Saturday- Intake and blower installed on motor, timing chain cover removed and fuel pump cam drive installed.
Today- Hope to have pump extension and Enderle 80a pump installed. Put in new bugcatcher nozzles and jets, gas barrell valve spool, and install injection hat. Fit idler pulley and blower pulleys. Start looking at plumbing fuel system.
Jet pump- Was gonna just replace the thrust bearing but have decided on total rebuild minus impeller which is fine. Tore down pump and found it had an "A" impeller and a Agressor bowl with a stuffer.
Bought a new Digital camera last night and will try to post some pics if my wifey-poo can figure out how.

[hydro066]

Jim, what's come over you? You've been a busy little beaver. What happened to the "thrashing, putting the motor together at 2:00 A.M., knowing you have to leave for St. Louis at 7:00 A.M.?
All I've got done today is fabricate and polish a chute bracket, make sure all I need from Lenco is discs and floaters (you remember, the "dry" Lenco).:D Oh, yeah, I did manage to do a sweetie that happened by a couple of hours ago - IN THE SUN. It's been a beautiful, sunny 85 deg day.
Hmmm - you've been more productive, but..........I'll swap you pics of what we've done today and you decide.:p
Later,
John

[shirkey4750]

John be careful what you say, the man has a new digital camera and just dying to use it. Stopped by this afternoon, and he was busy as a beaver. Motor is lookin good.

[Liquid Invader]

I heard there was a little interuption in the boat project. I hope you are feeling better Jim.
I need to get some of that energy from you and get started on some of my projects.

Well, I took the jet to the river today just to back it in and see if my 12 volt primer system would work. Didn't leave the house till 6:30 pm. So I was burning daylight. Backed the thing in the river and after adjusting the time a little it started idling so nice that I decided to take it for a spin. I made it up the river and back alright but lots more tuning on the the Enderle hat injection system is gonna be necessary. What little i could tell from the ride it"s gonna be a horse, though. Also the stands for the blower belt tensioner are toooooo Mickey Mouse and will need replacement with something a lot more substantial. All in all, it was a pretty good shake down cruise. Made it back to the trailer and only got wet up to my knees.

[MANIC MECHANIC]

Good deal Jim.:)
Have you got a room for Anna yet?
