Mine is stock big blocks. Just a pair of plain ol' 502 MPI's. Stock exhaust too. Kings has the small blocks. I agree with the lack of air though. I had mine vapor lock this weekend at our lunch stop, and my 502's have the later style cool fuel too.
Been watching your posts/pics. This hull is a great design and a blast to drive. Good luck with your project!

I like the previous cheap 2x4 idea to test air situation. Learned about the air at the race track. We simply sealed the scoop to carb and improved times by more than the previous thousands spent in upgrades. I will have foam seals between scoops and carbs. If you think about it. You are sucking hot engine room air into motors.
I got my scoops from Teague today (ironically).

I picked up a 30' velocity this fall, only got it out twice befor my ramp was out of water. It's got mildly built 502's, spinning 28 4 blades, 5500 Rpms and best run was 83.1. It's a handful to drive, pretty scared of it... I don't like the R's so high, I'm gonna try 30's in spring and hope to be down by the 5000-5100 range, and Maby pick up a mph or 2... That and the engines were built from scratch with worked carbs, previous owner pulled those and put on regular holleys with chokes because he said they were too cold blooded... Gonna try those and the 30's and hope for a few more mph and less R's..
