HEY!

No more teasing, or we will keep posting lifting pictures..... There has got to be a picture somewhere of Jerry hanging from a hoist!

Yea Jerry, if I have a block I'll get it to the machine shop and figure out what type heads etc from there.  You got a lead in a cheap one?

There's one in my garage you can have. It has some rust, so let me take it to the machine shop and see if they can clean it up.

Jerry, let me check with the authorities and get back with you before you get involved with the machine shop.  I'm still just an engine apprentice.  My most important job is that I'm the bank.  I kind of like it that way, otherwise I would have an overpowered engine and an underfunded bank account.

Too late....I'm not talking....(does anybody know where I can find a 400 small block?)

I'm curious as to what you're up to.

I currently have a 400sbc in the garage that I'm going to build and stuff in my intimidator.....

I've made my decision.  This morning I bought that vortec 350 block from Red, and I want to duplicate the 357 that is in my Intimidator.  Its very dependable and actually economical if I keep it in the primaries on the carb. That engine pushed his gold Scimitar over 70 and it should be powerful enough for my needs in the CV23. I will have the expense also of another drive, and I'm pretty sure a new prop, so in order to not break the bank but still be able to run with the pack that is what I intend to do. The block is going to the machine shop on Friday, and sometime after Thanksgiving I will start putting it all together.

Intimidated, good luck with your 400 SBC.  I ran Reds 387 stroker in Burnin Daylight at Red Wing and the difference was minimal (2 mph) not enough to make me want to build a higher torque engine. Actually the response on that engine was almost instantaneous, but I was running a high dollar 25 pitch Power Tech prop with it that really woke it up.  I think I remember you took the hook out of your hull, so your performance will possibly surpass what I was able to obtain.

I just called and found a 350 Vortec heads and block that I will be picking up for my 23 as well.
I think this has become an addiction.

I have a soft spot for 400's and have had good luck over the years with them in cars so I figure'd I'd build one for the boat.  Yes, I minimized the hook which free'd up the hull and added some speed.  Hopefully the effects will be more noticeable with more power.

Brake and Equipment has everything. Let me know I have a wholesale account,

Will do Jerry.
Thanks for the tip Red. I'd rather get this one working then replace it if possible. I'll try this first.

More lifting.

Just not quite enough room to squeak by.

Put a block on the little dolly, set the axle on the block by the spring shakles .. less chance for the drum to come off the dolly, and will give you another inch or so.

You can take that flat bar with two holes in it between the trolley and chain hoist off too and hang the chain hoist hook directly to the trolley's rod.

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