Looks like you have room for two big Yeti's full of beer. That'll solve your ballast problem.
Great job Corey!
I'm thinking a YETI on one side and two bottles of laughing gas on the other side!!!!

Great job Corey!
did you get the P/S lines worked out ? if not saw that russell has the fittings
Don't at weight for ballast just add an extension box![]()
I love this thread. Thanks for sharing the build.
Man those headers would look good pink.
I missed one thing corey; what did you do with your drive? Dont know what you have/had.
Awesome stuff Corey.
Am also a huge LS/boat fan.
Your dyno results are killer!
Especially the torque![]()
Thanks man!!
Yeah, the dyno numbers blew my expectations out of the water!
It was my wifes birthday this weekend, so I didn't get much done. Going to finish up the wiring this week. My gauges should be here Tuesday, so my wife has offered her little hands to get behind the dash and help me with those. Once that's done, its time to fire her up!!!
What RPM did it make the numbers at?
You should get another 1000 Rs of rev range over a big block too, correct?
Without having the dyno sheet in front of me, if I remember right it made peak power right at 6000, but didn't die off much all the way up to 6500. So I set the rev limiter at 6500 and I'll prop it to run right around 6300. That's 1500 rpm more than the 4800rpm my old 454 was limited to. I know the motor sounded pretty damn wicked on the dyno at that rpm so I can only imagine what it's going to sound like flying across the water through the headers!! The number that I was happiest with though was the torque. It hit 500lb-ft by 3500 rpm and held it over 500lb-ft all the way to 5900. In my mind, that's perfect for what kind of boating I do. I figure, if I'm easy cruising down the lake at 3500 and one of the hundred of Baja's at Cumberland comes up next to me feeling frisky, I'm coming right into the sweet spot of power so I can smack the throttle, and God willing, leave him far behind me!! And the best part will come later when I run into him at the dock and show him that he got his feelings hurt by a small block!!![]()
