I have never had a motor come apart when using good old Ace Hardware grade 8 bolts for the rods...
But then again I have never put a motor together with Ace Harware bolts.........

if I can I will be going 10 disc, I may have to run the 7 disc for another season, they are fresh and didnt have any issues behind the 600's I will at least have a spare and my buddy does them for me so if I smoke one it isn't a huge problem..it all depends on money available, I don't use credit for boating

As most know I repowered the Mistress 2 years ago, bought a boat to get the engines and it turned out to be a nightmare.....
So.... today I ordered my NEW Dart blocks, and Eagle rotating assemblys for both, will be 540CI all machinework done at Victory Engines in Cleveland, great guys! they never let me down... ever...
I will post pics and info along the way, with the help of my best buddy Scott (Lake Effect) and guys like Joe (Mild Thunder) all issues will be addressed and hope to have new reliable 650-700 hp when I am done...
boat ran 73.4 with 600 hp and TRS so lets see what happens!!

My heads will limit power, I really don't wanna put more HP then 700 to TRS in a Mistress, I expect to have some issues as it is, more power is just more issues, I want some kinda of faith in running it hard, I am not easy on my boat at all...
