That is one great looking set up. I like the ghosted American Flag on the engine cowling. How much horse power will it be making?

I'm really not sure on that one, compression is right on pump-gas limits.. hopefully more than the 250 ho the block started as LOL...

Nice!!!

**Instigator** · 09-24-2019, 08:28 PM

Yep

Pretty sure that was Bernard’s boat.

Thx for posting Dave.
This thing is a work of art.

If the smart asses don’t ruin the thread, you will see the baddest home brewed JohnRude, on the planet, evolve.
And the best home brewed STV also.
Watch the details. This where he shines.

MiamiDave is in the house!

Now that’s a “Work of Art”!

**Instigator** · 09-24-2019, 08:40 PM

Since Dave doesn’t like to boast, I’ll do it for him.

Dave Bush sleeves and pistons, finish porting by Dave, F-1 V-8 Mid, 3.0 Sporty, 2 stage EFI and ignition by an Indy Car guy, both fully programmable by Dave, paint by Dave, rigging and Hardware by Dave, etc, etc.

Correct me where I’m wrong Dave.

The baddest of the bad.

Last JohnRude he brewed up went 119 on carbs and an OMC coned case on a Pro Comp.

He knows of which he speaks.

Pics of other sides of motor?

**H2OPERF** · 09-24-2019, 09:51 PM

Thanks Gary you pretty much got it covered, most every part on it is how you like it... garage-built, except for the heads they were a group effort with Gordon using his head shells.. I would have liked to have bought some of the stuff like steering components but didn't like what was available so i made it all and it took more time than i expected lol. I'm sure it's gonna take some tweaking to get it running right and I have to start over on props the old motor was a small shaft. other side looks the same except for the secret stuff..

**kellytheaker** · 09-24-2019, 10:12 PM

Finally some tech info thanks Instigator , nice work Dave . Now the secret stuff ?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuel-Cell-I...EAAOSwKtVWxmyX Thanks Tom, I don't remember paying that much and crap didn't see blue when i got mine. The hole is big enough to get ur hand in and use nuts instead of threading thin aluminum..
