Re: Thunda Babe
It was an unknown block. I was told it was a runner. I picked it up at a farm clearing sale with two other engines and five gearboxes for $150. Now I know!

Re: Thunda Babe
Looks like I'm going to have to go 40 thou over if I use this block. The broken ring has done a bit of damage to the bore.

Final patterns done and the new inlets rockers fit. One major hurdle done.

I'm the same as Ray. One car and one boat at the moment.

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Yes Bob, the more you look and the more you find. Every frame that came out was broken. The only thing that stopped the engine from going through was the keel and the plysheets. All the ply sheet screws were rotten also so it says a lot for the glue.

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Finally I'm back into the Seacraft. I can't believe its been 9 months since I've touched it. Bloody skiffs are a major distraction 8-) This week I've managed to pull out the last of the frames that I want to at this stage. I'm leaving the rear two in so I can maintain the shape of the hull.

Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Good progress there Bob. It looks great.
I wouldn't say "finally". You're miles ahead of me with the Seacraft.
