My boat is small at 16 feet. Planning hull. Relatively light weight. Two person only. No skiing, no towing. Vintage speedboat for mostly flat water, lake and river boat. It's style of cam would be different to a 25 foot 6 person ski boat. I don't need the low end torque to dig a heavy boat out of the hole and onto the plan while towing a skier. |

Re: Bought three Flathead V8 engines yesterday
Speaking of antique boats, this has been advertised locally when I search for "flathead". Years back I saw one at a guys place up north with a Chrysler 413. It was a masterpiece of woodworking.

Re: Bought three Flathead V8 engines yesterday
Taking shape... Worked on mounting the spark arester tonight and working out the in and outs of the expansion tank. Still got to shorten the spark aresster for deck clearance.
Looking more like a motor every day. |

The engine is only at 12 degrees so some roads would be that steep. |

Re: Bought three Flathead V8 engines yesterday
ON our Hydro engines I mad some adapters for the carbs that leveled them. I also used 2110 carbs so I had to bore the throttle bores out abit.
