Maybe those V-drives are hard to build, they have allot of parts you know. Not simple like a Jet! crazy.gif

I have the new pistons for the 440, going this weekend to get the 383 with the heads and cam for the 440, need more time to tear down the block and get it to the machine shop for the 030 overbore for the new pistons.  Bringing back a bare block this weekend too to use to setup to make the mount plates.

I need to call JJ and figure out which route to go with the Casale.

It all takes time and money and right now been working 80 hour weeks with not even a day off and when I have had one it has not really been a day off. 

She is coming along just inches not leaps and bounds.

Things left to do
1) Motor
2) Steering
3) Wiring
4) Seats
5) Tanks

I've blowed up three motors and completely rebuilt a boat......and it looks like ill still beat him to the lake this time too.

Just dropped off my block and crank to the machinist today. Should be ready by next Wednesday for assembly next weekend.
