"Just a Teaser" Hot Knots Engine
« on: October 16, 2012, 03:29:53 PM »
We pulled the 260 stock engine out of my CV23 yesterday and parked it in OleReds garage for a while.  I've started collecting some parts, I have the cam and lifters already.

Do you have an oil filter relocation kit on there?

Also Red on Reds Gold what was the advantage of setting the motor/ drive back a few inches. I understand why you would raise it but why the set back.
I think this has become an addiction.

I guess i heard a echo. Cant get rid if it.  Honestly. A rubber band on the gutter!
 Red will have to explain the hoist, but we have pulled the engine on Burnin Daylight 3 times including his stroker and now this one, and those are the ones I'm aware of.

Not sure what his is hanging from, but I hope to use a tree in my side yard when I pull mine.

Terry just build an A-frame like mine. I think it should handle a 350, it did not flinch at my 120.

three reasons for moving the transom back
Raising the drive 3" reduce's the trim effect to lift the bow, moving the transom back 6 inches from the hull restored that lifting effect.
I removed just over 200 pounds weight off the motor, 30 pounds lighter by rebuilding the back seat, moving the motor back restored the balance of the hull.
Moving the motor back allowed access to the front of the motor, away from the back seat, and to use the later model power steering pump mounted above the alternator, rather than down in the bilge.
I also changed the rake of the transom from 10 degree's to 8, to straiten out the u-joint assy when  trimmed up.

The hoist is hanging on a 12" long 1/2 eye bolt through two side-by-side 2X6's and a 2x4 top plate I put there to lift stuff, I have about 10 more of those things in my shop, built up in the attic, I have lifted my boat on them, and several others, I'm going to add a couple more to swing the sprint.

Red, is your ceiling made of trusses? Now I don't feel so worried about my truss hoist. I put a steel I beam across 5 trusses with an electric hoist. Lifted a 800lb 460 without creaking.

Am I the only one that is less creative and uses a cherry picker?

Since this is "Just a Teaser", I assume you're not going to share the big picture of the plan with us yet Barb?  Sounding very interesting already though.......
Going for a freshen-up and slight warming of HP, or full out SCREAMER motor?

Definitely a cherry picker fan here too Kert, it was one of the first big tools I bought when getting back into this "hobby"/obsession.  (Couldn't manage without it, quite frankly.)  I know some of the gang with I/O's have problems getting them to lift high enough to clear the motor coming out though, so the hoist or A-frames would come in better for them I guess.
