Oh by the way the rubber intake stuffers are a waste of money also you wont notice a change one bit? I have quite a few if you want to pay pal me the cash + the ride LOL

Really looking forward to doing the build, now that i have the port figures

Thank you for the offer racervboat but i have the rubber intake stuffers.
If i didn't i would have bought them from you. I owe you a beer anyways for telling me i didn't need the stuffers for the exhaust.
I have them but they will be on eBay tomz.
Once again thank you for the advice

If you want to save some money don't put the stuffers in and you wont have to machine them either works better or its up to you if you do or not.

Heard "filler block delete" is good for couple hunnert rpm up top. But put's a lil dent in midrange?

Btw I intend to test that theory soon. Have a 'was running' '79 115 flatback w/good compression sittin in the craport. Longside a '96 112 bubble back that ate a ring in #1. Stay tuned.

already been tested but not on a heavy tuna lunker. LOL

**71V153** · 11-20-2017, 08:06 PM

If'n I were a heavy tuna lunker I'd be offended ...

**71V153** · 11-20-2017, 08:15 PM

Really need to tidy up the craport anyway. That'n I need a replacement for the one I swiped off'n the Baja ...

I like that "tuna lunker" reminds me of my old 22 Grady Cuddy with a 2.4 200 loaded with 4 big guys, 8 scuba tanks, 160 lbs of lead and 150 gals of fuel!!!!! She still did about 40 when new... but that didn't last long runnin 2hrs at a time wide open! Oh I forgot the beer and booze for the trip back. lol
