Yes sir still going at it.. Hows your build coming??

That is odd.. The added length of the crank should have put you in the exact same spot as a sbc. Are you sure you have the correct flexplate for that year engine with the extended crank? a quick google search said you have to use Pioneer flexplate FRA-452 for that setup. Then the box should bolt rig...

Thanks! I've had conversations with guys that drove these in Nam. Heard some very cool stories! No poly just a bunch of Quick Slick. It would be real tough to put poly on one of these due to the bottom configuration. Not to mention the glass is so thick on the bottom that I think that's protection e...

I have one of those hulls myself and Rich is right it's a very heavy hull. That being said it's also a very fun boat to drive and has a awesome cruise rpm of 1500-1600. Mine is 14' and does very well with the wide deck 180 on it but since the bottom is so narrow I'm not sure how it would act with a ...

A SBC is a direct replacement for a 4.3. No cage modifications needed and the same box will bolt right up. The difference between the 2 is from the engine mounts forward. To make the switch you will add about 5" to what you have upfront now.

Yes.. Mark just finished up building me a stroked 6.0 LS a couple months back. I have him stroking a SBC now and when that's done I got another 6.0 and then a LS9 for him to build. He's a strait shooter, does excellent work and his pricing is more then fair!

I'm no LS expert but I would say the main reason the LS3 heads don't work as well on 6.0s is because that's all people are doing is swapping the heads. The LS3 heads are set up for a cylinder that has a bore of 4.065. With the 6.0s having a bore of 4.00, using the LS3 head will put the valves very c...

Thanks! It is a nice bender and does a great job. I lucked out and found it on craigslist. It only came with a couple big dies but now I have quite the die collection including some square ones :) . You are correct.. It's amazing how easy you can talk yourself into buying different radius dies :lol:...

Your setup is probably sending a 2 pulse signal and that tach set on 8 cyl is looking for a 4 pulse signal. Try switching the tach to 4 cyl and see if that cures it..

I have a JD2 model 4 and as far as the CLR for 1" dies.. It really depends on the look your going for.. In some places I like to use my 3" CLR die and in some places I'll use my 6.5" CLR die but I probably use my 3" CLR die the most.. As far as 3/4" I only have 1 die and it has a 3" CLR but I found ...

Damn...So sad.. I'm gonna miss that guy! RIP buddy!

No reason the injectors gm supplies with the engine wouldnt be enough. He swapped the LSA cam for the LS9 cam. That in its self pushes the duty cycle limits of the injectors GM specked for that combo. Now throw a supercharger pulley swap into the mix and your flirting with disaster because now we n...

Anytime you change the injector size you should modify the tune. Most of the CTS-V guys that run the LS9 cam and a pulley change like running the ID850s. They claim the ID850s are the smallest injectors they like to run with the LS9 cam and pulley swap. Those injectors come with the accurate charact...

I ditch them myself.. Here is a old thread on the subject.. viewtopic.php?f=48&t=12253&p=129181&hil ... ve#p129181

Hi Smuggler, Do you use stainless hardware on those trailers? My boat is a 13' diamondback and I primarily use it on the east coast of FL in saltwater... If not included, how much with the stainless? Yes sir every bit of the hardware is stainless steel, all the accessories are aluminum, the ONLY ga...

Do you build trailers for all boats , or just airboats? We have done a few boat trailers for boats that resemble airboats but our main focus is specializing in custom airboat trailers. We are building a new shop now and as soon as we get moved in, we should have the room to venture into different a...

We are located in Brooksville and our standard all aluminum trailer is $2,350. Here are a couple pics of our standard trailer.. https://tinyurl.com/ycre6lxv https://tinyurl.com/y8lvlnw7 https://tinyurl.com/ycc6az6f For more information give me a call 352-428-9626 or check out our website AirboatStuf...

The E78 ECM has a torque based control structure for tuning which requires different tuning skills then the prior generation ECMs. The E78 takes a tuner that really knows the system to get it to operate properly.. Since you said there was no one in your area that can tune, I would do a "mail tune". ...

Remflex makes some really nice exhaust manifold gaskets. They are a little pricey but IMO they are worth it. They are very thick and high quality. I've used them on a bunch of applications with no issues when other gaskets have failed.. Here is a link to there site http://catalog.remflex.com/categor...

I don't know who would lengthen the factory harness but I've had quite a few extended harnesses custom made from scratch. I usually have them add 4' to the stock length and that is enough length to comfortably place it in the dry box under the rear seat. Hands down Current Performance http://www.cur...

WOW.... So sad to read this.. He will surly be missed.. Slide on my friend!!

Thanks for the plugs guys!! However for some of the reasons that Prototype listed and some more of my own, I won't build a tilt trailer. There is no doubt that I could, I just won't. I can make unloading my standard trailer easier by using the plastic covered boards and rollers on the tail, between ...

Thanks to everyone for another fantastic year! We greatly appreciate ALL the business and kind words that we have received! :D :D I also wanted to let everyone know that we built another bender for 5 1/2" I beam. We used to be limited to building trailers for airboats under 16' but now that we can b...

Junker you are more than welcome!! Thanks for the compliments and the business, we greatly appreciate it!!
