It's going to be used =)

Maybe not that much. Just need it to dial in the chassis for the next motor.

This one I designed and built for the first time 10 years ago. The only difference this time is the billit main caps and new rods.
Should not build any more horsepower at all.

Although this one did run a 6.60 7 years ago at only 60MPH since I snapped the driveshaft!

Now the next one is a different story.

Always need big anchors at luggart, never know how windy it might get. Hope that is rustoleum paint so it wont rust away at the bottom of the lake.

It's just the same old crappy big block I built 8 years ago with the bottom end stiffened up a bit. (New caps and rods) It won't make one horsepower more than it ever did.

That's why I didn't replace the heads with aluminum. Would take away from the boat anchor effect. Grin

As long as I push some 6.50's and get the 4 link dialed in I will be happy.
