New ride boat motor HE-HE

Here is a big inch small block I just finished going in a (ride boat) so he say’s. There wasn’t a thing on this motor that didn’t hit two other things. Every single part had to be clearanced nothing on this motor but the carb would fit in a stock small block Chevy. She’s going in a stephull and should make a beast of a boat. There is some heavy action about to start in the marsh. I can’t wait, I know of three sick boats going together.

Another beautiful job great looking engine I bet it will run as good as it looks one of these day's I am going to have you build me one of your LS 1's
 
Thanks Sniper, Hey Sniper now I’m also building LS6’s. I’m putting together a killer combo LS6 package after we complete some more testing. I will keep stock of 500HP LS6 motors for next day delivery.

I have been using the prop for Evac on 90% of my motors and on all of my LS1’s. However this motor has so much compression an Evac pump is the only way to prevent oil leaks not to mention they can make up to 20 more HP on an iron block even more than that when using an aluminum block.
 
Well I'm just speechless. Thats an amazing looking piece of equipment. Love those anodized pieces too. Great work for sure.
 
So nobodys asking for thy hype! :twisted: Torque :twisted: HP :twisted: @rpm :twisted: gear reduction (Im thinking around 2.68 or abouts on a gear drive) Looks wild and i'm sure it is. It's totally at another level! :cry:
 
And! :twisted: You must wanna say :wink: How many cubes did you get out of it? :twisted:
 
That should wake a ride boat up!! stuff like that just makes me wanna spend money I just shouldn't!!! very nice Thunder!!
 
How long do you think it's going to be before I can pick up one of those blocks at the local pick-a-part for thier engine price of $130.00? :twisted:
 
Airboater's here in Nebraska love that type of engine on the boats they run around her.

High horsepower on 13ft fiberglass boats, you could sell some set up's like that here in Nebraska.
 
inquiring minds need to know- HOW MANY CUBES THUNDER ??
dont start being all secretive on us now !! on another note how much of an over bore can you do without resleeving an aluminum ls ?? i think i read that it wasnt very much. if its true than did you get all the cubes with a monster stroke ?
 
With the LS1’s some people are installing Darton sleve’s and building 427and 434 cubic inch motors. I see no purpose nor have any desire to build one for an airboat. So far most all of my customers say their LS1 runs better than expected. I like the bore of the LS1 in (AIRBOAT APLICATIONS) and don’t desire to change them. In airboats LS1 motors are more reliable than the conventional Small Block Chevy’s. I have seen three or four LS1’s go thru abuse or people that forgot to put water in them, without a doubt they would have destroyed a conventional small block Chevy I see absolutely no reason to run a conventional SBC other than if you already had the parts. As for the motor in the pic the owner has made me swear to secrecy.
