3/16 sir spaced at 4 inches

Thanks Rick! Welds ain't as pretty as I'd like but they'll do the job. Pic after pickling.

Just finished up tiggin my cage and rigging! Man that stainless moves A LOT with heat!!!! 100% argon for shielding. If you got a sizable chunk of aluminum or copper that you can visegrip to the tubing it'll help act as a heat sink and reduce the warping. After I'm using pickling paste to clean up th...

Just picked up my new trailer from B&S Trailer in Reddick Fl. on Friday. I have to say I'm very impressed on the quality of their work. Aluminum I-beam, stainless hardware, torsion bar axle, and LED lights. Price came in just under $2300 out the door. Real nice folks to deal with. I just finished th...

Ted where do you get the pacemaker set up? I've tried researching it with no luck. Does the timing advance?

Since Ford isn't such a popular performance engine, Chevy guys get all the cool parts, I had to build my own thermostat housing. Only one company makes any sort of piece to adapt a Moroso filler neck designed for a Chevy and is $179. I ordered raw materials from Online Metals, 1/2 6061 3" wide and 1...

Roger that!

.125 bottom 5086. .100 sides 5052 325 lbs. so I was told. Thanks for the advice! I'm trying to take the measure twice cut once approach!

So I have my new hull ready for poly. Steel flex is on and cured. Planning on bolting the leading edge and riveting the remainder. The hull is a Circle H 12 x 8. The flat measures 64" across where it is broke. 64" is front to rear. I'm planning on running the poly all the way to the rake. 57" back f...

Right one is an old Panhead that I am converting to a hardtail for a guy and left is one I built for myself years ago. 107 Ultima 6 speed Ultima hardtail frame custom everything else. 500 miles into it the chain came loose and ripped the rear fender down into the tire a locked it up. 12 years ago an...

Fresh coat of Steelflex on my new Circle H 12x8 before the polymer goes on!

75 mph 13' Big O with a DD 408 Windsor with a tail wind on I-75!!!

Roger that. I was told to put steelflex on before poly to help to keep corrosion to a minimum. It came from a guy with a riveted hull. His reason was because his bottom is 6061 alloy and keep the corrosion at bay.

Mr. Fenner why the roof coating out of curiosity? I think I know but like to hear from experience.

I changed out a 400hp 4 barrel FiTech injection unit for a 400hp 2 barrel Fitech unit on my 408 Windsor and picked up 300 rpms without any other changes. Difference being 1000 cfm vs. 500 cfm. On a DD, manifold air speed is crucial for performance!!! 450 Holley 4 barrel would be perfect as Mr. Fenne...

I have one with bolted poly and the scar from the hole in my foot from missing a step on the top of the gunwale and sliding down the inside catching one of the longer 1/4 bolts!!!!! Back deep in the Flying Eagle it happened. Punctured the ball of my right foot and tore it sideways. Had to use clotin...

Harmonics? If that were true then LS engines couldn't be used since the firing order is the same. Most don't want to bother with starter mounting since it doesn't bolt to the block like chevy.

Certainly can't use a Ford engine on a direct drive!

So we can turn and burn in one day. Naples guy was here a 9 a.m. and done by 4, loaded up and on his way. About an hour to hook up. Warm up session. If solid, readjustment of valves, then tuning. Initial base timing first, jetting is next. Once the AFR's are happy then timing can be adjusted for pea...

Absolutely. Just did one the other day that a guy bought used and wanted to know hp/tq, make sure jetting was correct (which was fat as a hog), and timing. Had an airboat engine back last year that came out of Naples, that didn't make the power they thought it would. We have the bell housing rings f...

Well it helps with preventing engine damage. That Blueprint engine that melted down because it was way lean, no adjustments needed back on the boat. Tuned for proper AFR ratio to bolt on a go. Timing is critical for moving power around on the rpm range. Also gives information on for pitching blades ...

I get that you trust him. It would be nice if the rest of the world got to see what kind of power he's makin. Don't want to know the man's secrets just curious of hp and tq. Prop is just an air dyno but can't give hard numbers.

No dyno time? How do you know if the tune is correct or what kind of numbers it produces? Seat of the pants tuning is wonderful but can leave power on the table.
