Nice!! bring that beast to florida..We have a bunch of them consistantly running in most of our 2 day races...
That's how they come outta the box Andy. Steve Wood recomended plugging the holes to the lower cooling chamber with 4-40 set screws so the motor will get up to temp. I've done this on the Rs 45's and a friends 1.01 I just drilled/tapped a 10-32 hole 180 degrees from the top hole and rotated the cap to keep the lines away from the starter belt. On motors with the head screws going thru the water I've replaced the carbon steel screws with Stainless Steel and used tef-gel on threads to prevent corrosion(thanks Rick Bellenger). The corrosion in my friends 1.01 was unreal after one summer.Good looking Hot Rod
Interesting choice of water outlet placement , Any reason why there ?
Enjoy it, there a a blast to run. I finally found the handle on mine new boat at the last 2 day and Im loving it.
As Brett said, bring her down south, we have a pretty decent thing going in X-Mono.

I was referring to where he exited the water from the hull- at the transom, it just may be hard to see in the rooster tailThat's how they come outta the box Andy.

I ran on the water for the first time today after bench break-in yesterday. Wow, is all I can say! First experience with a big block! Took it easy and went through two more tanks. Only thing that sent me home was no zip ties around tuned pipe and it blew apart. Other than that mistake on my part it was flawless. Not sure I can make it back over to gas after today. I guess from what I'm reading, two more tanks or so & should be ready to lean out?
Man I love watches and I thought it would look good. Jeff at Ground up Designs did an awesome job - will definitely use him again. Here is the actual bad boy Omega Seamaster!!Kip Look Nice Will you wear your new watch " Omega" on wrist? :lol:

1.01's when the pipe is butted up to the header are hard on couplers. Zip ties or not. Tom Foley in Fl. Can weld an extention on your pipe that will telescope over the header making it easier on the couplers.be careful blowing the coupler.I couldnt bring myself to drill the hull and just had it thereGood looking Hot Rod

A hole in the piston will ruin your day. It will happen real quick. Ask me how I know.

Glenn - I did and the problem was the "tee" which I was using to make fueling easier. The fuel was going through the 3rd channel and coming out of the carb instead of to main tank through hopper. Because it is such a pain to take off the fuel tubing, fuel and replace on bottom of 3rd channel (serious pain the arse) I kept the tee but use a pair of hemostat pliers to pinch off the fuel line to the 3rd channel. Problem solved and knuckles saved.
They work great- no more burnt couplers AND easy pipe length changes
