holding it open is easy ,i just need to finish shimming and hanging the door on the customers ''qvale'' roadster and hanging the front clip on it so it can go get painted,im just getting real tired of getting up at 4-5am to pick up customers cars 4 days aweek then fixing all the computers and trying to work on my projects on sundays,i just hope i can get to go out on it 1 time before the snow flys[these eng's should have been done last fall so i could have put them in last winter when work was slow]

Well something must be going right if you can afford those 3 engines and the boat that goes under them!):h I hear you though it's already June ...summer will be over before you know it! Keep trudging brother!:smile5:

update,,,,,

just last week finished dressing the 3 engines[done except for the 3 new marine fuel pumps][there on back order],,today i spent all day washing the eng compartment and bolting the rear eng mount bracket in,hopefuly i can get the 3 pumps in by the end of next week and start installing the engines,,but till then i can drain the fuel and fill with fresh prem gas and octane booster,,

Ive built engines for most of my cars and boats and wasted lots of money having dynoed some of them only to realize that all dynos are not created equal.They are good to get a base-line result and then start fiddling to improve performance.
I ll bet if you bring your engines to another dyno shop you will get the HP numbers your looking for.

 

[dmaxx3500]

dyno time isn't a waste of time/money in my mind,setting up carbs-timing-valves is a lot easier in a dyno room then in a bilge of any boat ,,and its a great way to load/break-in a high hp engine and it sure beats installing an engine and having to r&r it for something stupid like a seal/water/oil leak[could take 5-20 hrs],,,i can get any hp you want ,its all in how you read the numbers and how you correct the info,,i used pretty conservative corrections ,,i did try some what less loading and got 900+ hp numbers,i'm very confident with my real world hp numbers,my numbers are right,,,o'ya we fiddled on the dyno to get some improvements,but i used a sym dyno program to set-up the project before i turned a wrench[this started out as just freshing up 3 eng's and dropping then back in][ya right][no good deed goes unpunished]


update July 3rd 2010,


2nd eng in place,[only took 3 guys 4.5 hrs] 3rd[last]eng should go in ,in the next week or 2,then i need to put on 3 sets of headers,3 sets of tailpipes,attach 3 throttle cable,3 shifter cables,then add water and fire up 1 engine at a time [just to ck things] ,if everything is ok ,then drive 3 miles to the river and drop it in,i'll post a few pics soon
