Sounds like your starter is getting tired, could be the wiring as well. Could be a couple of other things too. I have the mini starter in mine. Shouldn't need two batteries unless you want them.
I would run the same cam as in the gearheads thread. Solid or hydraulic.
Heads? How much are you looking to spend? I wouldn't buy Edelbrocks, if want to buy THE heads, get INDY 440-1 heads. I have a set here too. I have been wanting to get the 572-13's. They weren't available when I got mine.
Put a garden hose in the jet intake and then try it.

Thanks for lookin
This boat has basically a stock 440 that doesnt want to turn over when its hot, so I was thinking about installing one of those mini hi-torq starters and two blue tops to solve this problem. Sugestions??
Also, I want a little bumpity bump to the cam, and was thinking of one of those Mopar purple shafts --Hydraulic, 292 duration, .509 lift, centerline 108 Summit part # DCC-4120237
Anyone have any suggestions on nice aluminum heads other than Edelbrocks?
I disconnected the jet from the motor and can turn it freely by hand, although it makes a noise like it has a little sand in it. Sounds like about 2-5 grains of sand making a slight noise...is this ok, as it performs great!!
Thanks
