Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Was a dog clutch, jabsco, and some other stuff for holden red for around $200, also saw a marinising kit for a flathead ford going cheap as well, plenty of manifolds for y blocks as well. Ray

Count me in as well.

Hi and thanks Geoff, would you believe just picked up a pair of Kent finned exhaust manifolds of ebay for $50 last week, looks like the're in good nick. Would love the manifold though!!

Will have to check dates with the boss but will be a starter if we can make it fit, Nagambie or Eppalock would be better for me as Eildon is a fair trip from Melton but if thats where we go then no probs. Ray

may be of interest to someone looking for a "y" block.

Carbies would just about be worth the starting price! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ski-boat-project ... 4aa8a05956

Thanks guys, my head is spinning from info overload, probably looking at this as a winter project (shed has pot belly stove) so may go a bit quiet on it for a while. Still trying to sort out wooden worries carbie woes, she's very flat bottomed and i swear every time i go over another boats wake she ...

Thanks Geoff, finished up getting one for a bit over $400, i was told it's a runner but i'm going to pull it down before i use it. No marine stuff but does have a 500 holley. You were saying they bore out to 292, how much meat does that leave in the block? I'm looking at the US for rings and bearing...
