Red,

I like the Edelbrock... had it apart many times this year getting the new motor dialed in, and I like the design.

I am however, stepping up 100 cfm, then dyno running for optimum jetting over the winter. this motor absolutely rips, but it's got more. way more. you can tell it needs more carb. it's over 450 hp now, but I think optimal timing, optimal cfm, and optimal jetting will put it close to or at 500 hp. the Edelbrock is a good carb, I recommend it to anyone who understands carbs and can dial them... there are alot of variables with the Edelbrock that other carbs don't have, but if you know how to tune it, it allows alot more ability to tune. jetting, needle progression, variable springs for secondaries... very nice.

Is that the same as an Carter AFB ?
I had one on a 350 in a 70 gmc, liked it way better than the holly's I had at the time.

Hey Steve
been wondering about you, and yes, I've stepped up to a 750 on my stroker, and I'd like to ge it to a dyno this winter also, but that sure scared me the last time I took amotor to a dyno, I thought they were just trying to blow it up.

and Yes again, the Edlebrock carbs are basically the same as the old afb carter, but somewhere down the line webber got in the loop, and someone else also ?  don't remember

A couple of days ago I ordered a brand new set of aluminum exhaust manifolds with 4" risers from Dennis Moore Performance Marine.  I just got an email back from them that they are out of stock until mid January.  I guess it's a good thing that I really don't need them until spring.  I have been in a new performance parts ordering frenzy for the last couple of weeks.  I am still in need of finding an electric high volume fuel pump for late model SBC with the mounting bracket.  Prefer new, don't really want used parts on the fuel system.  Red took that SBC vortec block to the machine shop last week and we expect it to be there for about 3 weeks.  Looks like I will be able to start putting things together sometime in Dec.   
An update on Hot Knots: she is over at the local canvas shop getting a new custom towing cover made, and a few of the buttons on the upholstery repaired and replaced.  Supposed to pick her up Friday or Monday I think.  She looks kind of pitiful with that big empty hole in the transom.

Wait, Ross, I thought your motor was already in and you had this on the water. Is this an old picture?

Yea old pic. Not plan on doing this again, at least any time soon.

Please don't shoot the messenger here for asking a stupid question. My limited non-outboard marine engine experience is based on assisting three re-powerings of a Switzer Jet (Olds 400 to 455 to modified 455) and various car re-tweakings - but I pale in comparison to most on this forum - so just a stupid curiosity question.

Has anyone ever tried either a Holly Pro-Jection (throttle body injection), or even a Predator variable venturi carb on any marine applications? I think they're still made (although price might be an issue), but seems like either would allow for more precise tuning than a typical carb (even a high performance type) and more lower rpm torque.

Maybe neither is allowed by the Coast Guard though, and maybe a simple web search would have told me. As I said, just had to ask opinion of those here out of nothing more than curiosity since I have no current plans to actually play that way myself (although I'm always amazed at how what isn't planned frequently turns into the next thing to work on).   ;)

Going to need sunglasses, no welding goggles, to look into that engine compartment. Chrome goodies look great can't wait to see them on the engine.  Chrome Envy anyone?

I'm going to match an Edelbrock 650 CFM with that Edelbrock Performer intake. 


Fast shipping, where did you buy them from? Do you have a speed goal in mind?  ;D

The parts all came from different performance parts houses.  This engine will have just a few more ponies than the 357 that is in my Intimidator.  I plan to have it dyno'd and tuned in before it's put in the bilge of this CV23.

Barb, I might be persuaded to give ya a good deal on a Edelbrock 650... unless of course you are getting Red's. I'm going to a 750 on my stroker, the 650 will be available. One short season on it and all stock.
