First time its seen the light of day this year , the motor is getting sent off to the machine shop this week for a tear down , inspection and mild rebuild .

You did a great job on that boat.....

[GIL_CV21]

The good the not so good and the ugly . The good the crank will only need .010 under grind , the is just your original run of the mill 1970 455 that hasn't been taken apart and doesn't have any cracks yea ! The not so good is hole number three has some pitting from it sitting for so many years , the machinist thinks a .060 bore will remove them if not it will have to be sleeved and the block decked "cha ching" . The ugly , the heads are your run of the mill 2.00 intake nothing special heads that need a complete overhaul that have already been worked on as in knurled guides and they're warped to boot . I'm going to focus on getting the block done with new forged pistons (gonna try to get at least 9 to 1 ) , forged rods , a more aggressive cam and lifters . The next thing will be aluminum heads with 2.075 intakes the adjustable rockers . I'm kicking myself in the arse for selling my little 160 .

super fine boat !

The engine parts are startin to trickle in , just got the forged H beam rods , timing gears and chain , the forged flat top pistons are on a truck somewhere on their way here . I had the machinist sleeve number three, that way im keeping the bore to .030 over , as soon as he gets the pistons he'll finish the boring and honing . I'm having him assemble a short block with oiling modification , crank and pistons then i'll finish it .





Can i get a moderator to move this thread to the jet boat section , this part of my project doesn't really fit here . Thank you . Gil

Sleeved and decked, what heads CCed? N crank good, stock rods worry you? Check the block number stamping what factory, doesn't matter? Looks good , oil work done, important. Right, California motor lol, had to go back and check.

[GIL_CV21]

The motor is going back together , the only parts that are original are the block and crank . I guess a mild freshin up went out the window .

Girdle, cap straps just because? That's going to be one sweet boat! Maybe put up another boat pic, all I'm seeing is a pussy saying click here!

Your probably already on it, but port match the intake manifold to the heads, and the exh manifolds to the exh ports. Free 5+ hp. Looking good man.
