I saw that John Deer started doing that a few years back. I have faith that hackers will always outmaneuver governments and big business though or at least make separate standalone units in this case.

X2 on the LS3. Especially if you are going to run any saltwater. My family's 502 has some some nasty rust areas for staying out around steinhatchee and pretty much only running salt water when we do take it out.

I believe I've heard that some marine engines spin counter clockwise. Maybe someone else can confirm.

It would be imperative to know the rotation when selecting a prop.

Google returned that the issue may be low fuel rail pressure (pump issue)?

I had a 2002-4 6.0 LQ4 and it was a great air boat power plant! If I remember correctly: $1750 for complete engine and harness $175 for harness rework and fuse block $250 headers $200 for intake setup $75 for miscellaneous (delete emissions) Opted for a new starter for piece of mind and ran the Torq...

I personally think that it makes no sense for the average guy with a 2/1 or 2.37/1 to go over the 5,250 number. I was happy running my setup there and would sometimes choke it down to 4,900 if I was just going to be cruising for the weekend. Just change it up when you some time and see if it's worth...

Did you call: 785.218.9449

They are usually pretty keen to quick replys

Great read, Mr. Reid!

Those numbers and the science behind them are just amazing to ponder

Thanks for sharing

I'd say it's a good excuse as ever to go ahead and put some performance parts in your rebuild.

Just do what you feel comfortable with cash wise.

Little things like a cam swap and cylinder head work can make quite a difference for not a lot of coin.

It's all up to you.

Also, you may want to check and make sure that the engine is not a counter rotation setup. I've heard that it is sometimes found to be the case at least in dual engine boats where one engine spins clockwise and the other goes counterclockwise (not familiar with the particular one that was mentioned)...

Tom is the guy for GPU and he is close to plant city. Would probably pick it up for you too.

Are you running unleaded fuel?

Happy Birthday! Thank you for all that you have shared on this forum.

CarMotorBarge, thank you for clarifying for the OP. I mixed up my acronyms lol.

...I found a iron 6.0 cheap with low miles but it is a 2014 vct does that matter? From my research and personal experience, you do not want an engine that turns some of the cylinders off via VVT. I had a 5.3 in my GMC Envoy XL and it blew the top end and then the bottom end after the top was fixed....

I'd let her eat and find out how well she runs. 8) Shouldn't be any worse than the 350 DD. I would use the truck intake manifold. Might also make sense to do a cam change to get a little more torque below 3,000 RPMs. X2 They are good engines. I'm happy with my stock one but I've got a gearbox to su...

Probably not much difference in weight between the two so I'd say you are better off with the 350 since it will make more power than the 6 cylinder.

Alumitech: (407) 423-3431

unless of course you went with an ecotec package which might come in around same weight as a 540 and possibly more thrust on pump gas. I may be mistaken but I believe there is a thread on here that documents an all Aluminum fully dressed LS weighing less than any fully dressed 6-Cyl AC engine. Howe...

I think it would be cool to see a DD LS on the Don Davis and fitting for an AC to be on the Thurman.

Either way - I'm sure we are in for a bunch of stories regarding the builds and change ups lol

Equally true

terrible ted wrote:Whats a wrap?

I believe he is referring to the "Vinyl Wraps" that you can commonly see on high end vehicles and sport fishing boats now-a-days.

Hands down the most beautiful looking and modern looking hulls I've ever seen!

One day

Only thin is I wanna go the carb route we have no one around me that can mess with the wiring or even the ecm and I figure by the time I send all this off pay the money to convert I'll be cheaper just slapping a 650 double pump on it and calling it good Do what you want but you can probably get tha...
