Eric455:
14.2:1 motor.That compression seems high for a blower motor running in a lake boat. Do you know how much boost it's going to be running at?
HBjet

[Squeezing Spectra]

LOL Eric made a little mistake its a carburated nitrous motor not blown. Bruce

Squeezing Spectra:
LOL Eric made a little mistake its a carburated nitrous motor not blown. Bruce Ok, that's makes a lot more sense. I was beginning to wonder who this Bruce guy was making 14.2:1 comp blower motors :D
How big of a nitrous kit are you going to be using on the motor?
HBjet

[Squeezing Spectra]

HB it`s nothing crazy a simple 300hp plate system.
Here is a few specs on the motor its 568 inches
Merlin pro block 4.610 bore
LAE Kryptonie 4.375 billet crank
Crower 6.535 + 400 billet rods
Je ultralite 14-1 pistons
Brodix 400cfm aluminum
jesel shaft rockers
756 solid roller cam
dart tunnel ram
2 1050 holley dominators
It should run ok LOL.Bruce eek!

[Blown 472]

Sounds like a nice motor, even if it is a chev. :D :p

[Squeezing Spectra]

Yea Blown i know its a chevy and believe me its hard as i am really a mopar guy but i just cant bring myself to put a wedge motor in a boat yet but i have been considering it. Bruce :D

[Blown 472]

Squeezing Spectra:
Yea Blown i know its a chevy and believe me its hard as i am really a mopar guy but i just cant bring myself to put a wedge motor in a boat yet but i have been considering it. Bruce :D Mopar guy huh?? cool, we just welded up a cage in my buddies 65 dart, 416 small block, eddy heads by Hughes, Hughes roller, 727 trans, 3,91 rear gear and ran a 10.902 last weekend with some left, should be in the 10.80's pretty quick.

[Heatseeker]

That's going to be an awesome monster! Like you guys, I'm a mopar guy at heart. Just can't bring myself to drop the dough to put a RB in a boat :( .
So, a blown BBC will just have to do...ho hum...

[wsuwrhr]

Heetseeker, you traitor. What is a bunch of money in a boat? A waste,,,haha.
It doesn't cost THAT much more money to do up an RB.
Brian

[Heatseeker]

Brian, you're right. I'm a traitor. Maybe, as the manufacturer of B/RB engine mounting systems for boats, you can help a stray Mopar guy find his way back to the Pentstar. You know, maybe a little donation of an engine plate or two... :D :D :D
You know the worst part, I have a very well seasoned complete 440 on the floor of my dad's garage. It's been there for at least 17 years, just begging me to do something with it! I was going to rebuild it and put it in Dad's 66 Charger, but we decided to stick with a 383 for originality reasons. So, there it sits, all cold and lonely on the floor of pop's garage, taking up space.
IMMAABAADDBOOYY!!! frown

[Infomaniac]

Looks like some first rate stuff.
F.Y.I. My dad drag raced an old Dodge with a 426 Wedge engine in the late 60's "The Wedge" named appropriately. The Hemis would eventually take it on the big end when they came out. Not that I remember back that far. Actually I remember watching Fuel Altereds run.

eric whoa eek! Umm ok maybe i should ask what should i expect to pay to have someone build me a 540CI chev? Around 650-700 HP?And make it reliable?

[wsuwrhr]

Heatseeker,
Maybe a donation of some water exit plates are in order. Motorplates arent THAT much. Come on. haha.
Brian

[wsuwrhr]

Think of how much you could sell that chevy for.
Brian

[Squeezing Spectra]

Woodster i just happen to have a fresh 540 here just like you would be talking about it is complete carb to oil pan with imco exhaust ready to go, i will be out of town till monday but if you want to send me your number we can talk when i get back. Thanks Bruce :rolleyes:

Mike

[wsuwrhr]

heatseeker,
You do know that hemi motormounts will fit right?
Im sure there are plenty of rail setup out there from retired race boats. Other than that, I would be more than happy helping you don the ordinary.
Brian

[HBjet]
