Getting started on a 496 cu in pump gas engine for a jet boat, for "Constant840" on here. Jason is operating on a tight budget, however it will be put together with a new SCAT 4340 forged 4.250" crankshaft, new SCAT 6.385" H beam rods and SRP forged pistons with a 5cc dome, should yield approximately 9.3-1 with his GM 188 casting open chamber heads. Here's where the budget part comes in, after buying the nice rotating assembly, we could not find a decent 4 bolt block that will keep him under his max budget limit, so we are going to use a 2 bolt that I have here already machined for proper marine clearance, so we should be able to get it together and tested prior to his goal of running Memorial weekend.
Whoever put the steel pipe plugs in the water jackets should be shot, need some special tools to get them out without breaking the allen wrench.
