There might be a few in the classifieds or you can give some of the belt manufactures a call and price out a new one. All the gearboxes mate up to standard chevy engines I believe..not so sure about the belt box but I would figure that they would fit a wide variety of engines as well.

I think mine is 15* and then 32* all in by 3k. There are a couple threads on here discussing it. Just google something like "chevy 350 timing southernairboat" and you should be able to find it.

If you have a decent HP to weight ratio you should have a pretty efficient set up, generally speaking. It's kinda like vehicles, smaller ones are more efficient than heavier rigs but with that said..while bigger engines eat more fuel; they don't necessarily have to work as hard as the smaller ones t...

Well I think it Looks like some type of airboat or something lol..is that a guage panel behind the seat?

Thanks for all the help guys I ordered the summit 1100 and a double roller timing chain with steel sprockets should be here tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how it works. Should I expect to be able to run dry at all being dd? I have a 14x7.5 air gator hull 3/8 poly conduit cage and square tubing for t...

Update?

That 4.3 engine block looks like a golden nugget..hell yeah! You should have a decent rig when your finished; be patient yet persistent and you'll have a great time sliding

I think its a great prop as long as you don't put it on an airboat

I almost went that route but decided to wait and save up for a more suitable composite prop.

I've got a 350 with a gearbox and a holley 600cfm on top of it and it has worked well for me. If your running direct drive you may be able to run a smaller carb like the 500 I assume.

I'll prolly never ride that area but I'll be damned if I wont take the time to sign a petition so that you guys can continue to ride. You got a long way to go but you one more vote from me.

<---The government should not be allowed to fly this flag for it is ours the people..

Did you do any :fishing ? I didn't have the day off because this is one of those holidays that apparently isn't a holiday :scratch: but I just got done eating some fried chicken with a Yuengling so I guess I'm still celebrating. I'm going to meet up with Mike around Kissimmee this weekend to test ou...

Brad, just bring your own bread crumbs..its the cheapest option

Whitebear, great post! To add to it I believe people need to wake up and stop arguing about republican vs. democrat BS...both parties are paid by the same criminals (central banks) and they are one in the same. Politics is garbage and just another way that they are able to divide America as well as ...

I think I recall summit or jegs having the adapter you need. I purchased a connector thru summit. The local parts stores carry different diameter piping as well which might help you out too

[quote when I get the prop on and only have to spin it about 1300rpm to cruise. WHOOOOSSHHH Tell me how you figure 1300 rpm cruise. Thats almost idle for my boat. Also, you might consider a drain plug someplace below the muffler on each side. Bud[/quote] Bud, that was in regards to the prop rpm of ...

Only thing I see wrong with this is that you didn't fabricate the custom "Dutch oven" for cooking-while cruising :fishing ... Seriously though you could get away with a beast of a cooking machine and be the hit of the party when you show up with some steaming tamales :cherry: Do what work...

It's not a woods running, ground pounding set-up. But, I bet with the longer tail pipes, it's real quiet and Quiet is Way Cool!! Looks a lot like a pulling truck exhaust system. Quiet is very cool to me. I figured putting the bigger square mufflers on top of the headers along with the smaller diame...

The originality of features on a home-built airboat gives it certain personal characteristics that set it apart from others. Whether it's a custom throttle pedal, stick grip, LED lights...or up-stack car engine. :lol: Good job on the build. Take it out and let us know how it runs. Thanks Glades! An...

A set of airboat headers probably would have solved the whole problem. No doubt :thumbleft: From my angle, the exhaust pipe looks pretty horzontal coming at right angle off the upper end of the mufflers, be sure there is a little down and out slope to it that you don't get rain water blown down the...

probably singe the back of your head on a hot summer day idling around. :scratch: Swamper, my head actually isn't the size of a hot air balloon so I got plenty of room to sit comfortably with out worrying bout that 8) and if my head/body does make contact with the exhaust while riding I would go as...

If that is what you want. I would not go for it on my boat for many reasons. Weight and vibration may be your problem in the future. It has happened to me and I've seen it happen to others that the muffler rots out from the inside and drops off, I carry several coat hangers just for that for temp f...

The guys accidentally put everything upside down but I actually really like the way it came out

how about a prop? I know i need a composite but what about a woody? I think you just answered your own question :lol: . I initially wanted to go woody because of cost but then I decided to just be patient and spend a lil bit more on a composite which I'm ordering today. Composite beats wood in near...

Same goes with milk for that matter (according to TG LEE) lol. There is apparently a reaction between the liquid contents and UV light.
