Like the news of the test results. Dial it in boys.

Awesome project..!!!

With no pics showing the "3.0 to 2.5" adapter i believe that is just a myth.
Just saying.


Dago.

Dago , keep in mind that a year ago Scott knew nothing about Fanuc G code , M function or word addresses .
He has since built and run a couple of different prototypes on his boat . The one he dropped in my lap and asked .. What do you think ..? Looked a lot nicer than you'd expect for a year under his belt and 'only" three axis .
Like Joe P. stated , he is developing a complete kit which will even move the cowl assy enough to clear the tire inflator.
Chances are pretty good that until it is ready to go to market ... it will be a unicorn to most people ..

Yep for sure.!!
I'm just busting balls.
Trust me I know everything about them.
I drove them over and hand delivered them.
I thought they came out pretty slick. For
Only a "3" axis as you say.
Cool project for sure.

With so many 5 axis machines within a stones throw from me , I've learned to tell the difference ....

Seems that doing the adapter plate is only half the battle . To run that class with a 2.5 can , you gotta deal with the bottom too ...

[dagodiver]

Yes you do.
I know as I did a set already.
I was told no pictures. So no pictures.
Cool stuff.!

So can anyone buy these mids and if so where do you get them from?

[AZMIDLYF]

Looks like it's time to "Walk the Walk" before you "Talk the Talk"...

What does the weather look like for the weekend?

... you gotta deal with the bottom too ... ...

.


how are the lowers beefed up to handle the more torque and HP of the 3.2L power?







.

[dagodiver]

Only the 15" part in the middle is 2.5 stuff.

The ones I converted to run a 3.0L lower were / are an old Mad EFI set that they cast to directly bolt a 3.0L powerhead + adapter plate to .

As mentioned , Scott Porta will release a complete kit when he feels it is ready to come to market .
If you need more information or wish to get on the list if he has started one , then you can reach him at :

What does the weather look like for the weekend?

Have you forgotten ?

Hot as &&%^%#@ in the morning , no breeze .
Twice as hot from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
2:45 pm cool wind out of the W-Sw
3:00pm to 4:30 pm 487,000,000 gallons of rain
5:00 pm till sun-up hot and humid ...

Meteorologist translation :
Beautiful day ahead , with a _ _ % chance of afternoon showers

Testing went well !! It far exceeded both Scott and Nicks expectations for acceleration and Top speed !! Seat time will tell as the guys get a handle on her ! Thenoat gets wrapped Tuesday as there wasn't enough time beforeSarasota !! Here's hoping for a safe fast race tomorrow and as we all know, there's always more room for another checkered flag in the man cave !!!
