Kevin,
I'm not real sure what we're going to get. I'll let you know. I'm not sure what kind of set up I'm going to need. All the horsepower will not do well with the wrong set up. The drives are deep and I might have to take the spacers out. I'm planning on some time to get it right.

Thanks to Eddie for delivering what I wanted. I am very happy with the hp level. I wanted to use a valve train that would give some longevity more than the most hp. A potential 250 hrs before refresh will be the best for me. I can't wait to get the motors in the boat. With all the rain in Nashville now Eddie can probably test the boat with driving it around his block! Nashville is nearly devastated. Eric
Thanks. Hope I was able to help you.

They are some beautiful pieces of work. You really need to see Eddie's work in person to appreciate it. Most importantly, you should see the work that goes into his long block prep. That is a place it counts. 250 hours is a bunch out of that kind of power. If anyone can pull it off it is Eddie. I have seen some his 950's with over 200 hours. They do not hiccup.

Jim,
I have seen your engines at the shop. They are looking great. Nashville is only an hour a way from me and I have been able to get down there several times to see the engines going together. Yours ought to come together fast now. What color are you going to paint them?
