383 Inboard(V-Drive)build

Work hard on your business, make lots of money, buy new boat.

Haha, nah, she has sentimental value.

So…the project is back in motion. I pulled the trigger yesterday on the Dart SHP block through Carl Hinkson of CNC Blocks Northeast. Last week I bought a set of Compstar H-beam rods to replace the Scat I-beams that were a water damage casualty. I’ve sent all the components(rods, pistons, crank, harmonic balancer and timing pointer) to Carl and he should be getting the block in next week. I’ll post pictures as I get them.

Hey Dieter!

I’m glad to see at least one of the crew is still around. I should have some pictures soon.

Just want to see it come together, regardless of piston prfile..��

What happened to Rick? I saw on his profile the other day that he hadn’t been around since January.

I’d say that’s a bit dramatic. Certainly he hasn’t been banned from the entire internet.
