They also said it was fitted with triple side draught webbers which might help explain the 350 hp !

They dont explain how they come to that figure, from the sound of it the guys who built the motor are professional engine builders. Interesting that the motor came out of a boat and further into the thread they make mention of a similar conversion that was in a ski race boat. Curious if anyone has h...

I was discussing this with Greg at the wooden boat festival, thought some of you might be interested. Holden red fitted with an alloy 250 ford crossflow head! http://www.ozrodders.com/board/viewtopi ... =crossflow

Hi Brian, what angle is the skeg on your boat, mines running 14 degree. After reading the posts on this thread i'm to curious to know what other boats like ours are running.

Was great to catch up with a few of the guys at the festival. Came away with some great ideas as to how to proceed with the "worry". Sorry to those who's ears i chewed off!!! I have been busy fitting up stuff like the cooling and fuel delivery systems so for those waiting with baited breat...
