Thanks Tony, boatracer 572 for helping me spec gears and prop. Hope to make some break-in runs in 2 weeks. since I am paralyzed from waste down they are designing a custom grip throttle steering wheel.

Al it's an 18 foot hydro, Doc rpm with the cam in it now will be 7300-7400. Hang on to that front motor plate you have they are getting hard to find. Thats what has been hard, Chrysler so much fabrication involved compared to ford or chevy. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Doc it was a combination of the belt drive and I am going to try and run a heat exchanger using anti freeze in the block loop instead of running lake water in the engine. I am just running lake water through the heat exchanger tubes only. I am hoping I can control my engine temp a little better this way and keep corrosion out of the block and heads. I had originally looked into a cover like yours and was having trouble locating one. I found listings but when I called came up empty. I will try and dig up a picture of the prop. It is a 11x17 3 blade cleaver for a hydro. Got it from Tom Bentley at Menkins V-drive.
