Re: Winter Upgrades?
cattitude ,
I would hope that new whipple motor will run that 28 pitch against the rev limiter . Can't believe you have the motor and can wait tell mid march to get her in there . Sell that 575 and get going , we are all waiting to see how she run's . What kind of money are you looking to get out of the 575 . I might know someone for it .

The 575 is on about page 8 in the classifieds- has a fresh blower from the blowershop- it's the Wiend which is the better of the two factory blowers from Merc- it has wet bearing on both ends vs the sealed units on the back of the Holley blowers.
Our lake is way low, ramps are kind of fubarred and ultimately, I figured it would be easier to sell if someone could test drive it then we yank it. Come March I'll videotape it etc on the last run so someone can have warm fuzzies.
This engine (500 w /Whipple) has Aluminum heads (New in August) and custom mapping with an airfuel meter etc and pulls strong to the rev limiter at 6k, I'd like to prop it for 55-5600 or so and pickup some cruise speed etc. It was in a single 32 Sunsation, he's building a 5 litre whipple engine (the blower is 5.0) and going Arneson

Re: Winter Upgrades?
one step closer, my motor showed up Thursday...
it's a 540
if any of you guys need a motor shipped, I have to recommend using forwardair.com. I had this motor shipped from JFK (NYC) to Knoxville, TN for $257. It was dropped off the evening of the 21st and was available early on the 23rd.
