ok here goes got the engine ready to go in. i need to know what are the measurements that i need to set the engine. its a 468 bbc appox 600h.p. according to the machine shop it's going in a 76 cole tr1 that the boat done to be like a tr2. where should i set it in at? thanks
76cole :cool:
My TR1 was at 32" I just move it forward 3" to 35. Flat48 TR1 is at 35 1/2 ;). Scottys TR1 is at 36 1/2.
Mine is now 35 1/2".
Jetboatguru knows this boat that 76Cole has. Bottom rework on that boat by Jim Lange is more of a Tr-2 style.
Probably 34 is about right but measure what you have now (had a hemi in it when 76Cole bought it but may have had a chevy at one time). See if any other holes are in the rails from a prior setup. And get Tony's input.
I set mine at 36" and the v-drive at 96". My 76 TR1 was set up to race. I ran 10's at 104 mph.
My 1977 Cole TR-1 has the engine at 35" and the V-Drive at 96".
Cole Man.
there are other holes drilled in the rails as it looks like it must of had other engines in it. by looking at your engines measurements i think i will try 34"
and see what how it runs there. do you measure from the front of the block to the inside of the rear of the hull ? thanks

Inside of transom to the front of the front motor plate. Front meaning where the balancer is on the motor.
just so i am clear to the front of the balancer or the plate that go's to the rails? thanks

I looked at this boat when it was in Simi, but ended up going with the Canyon. It should make a nice package :cool:
