So Furo headers sponsored my race program this season with an awesome set of custom laid back stainless 2 1/2” zoomies. Can’t wait until after the dyno session and I can make some passes to test them out!
Harold has done a long list of custom headers for the “Street Outlaws” show and can be...
Had the flexplate cover welded up where it cracked and came up with a quick loop to attach the driveline cover to. My thought is it was acting like a lever bouncing around and causing the flexplate cover to crack at the lower corners. I drilled and tapped a 1/4-20 arp bolt from the driveline...
Reverse gear bearing came in today so it’s going back together tomorrow and I get to see if my homemade ring tool holds up to 210 lbs of torque 😬
Thanks for the help again HST4ME 😎
Post #198 shows what I did last spring to add a surge tank after I converted my 300x over to an external Aeromotive fuel pump. Have not had any issues since.

HST4ME saved my 300x, it was full of surprises and allot of leaks but after plugging all the holes from #6 giving up its run great the last 2 summers 😎
I followed the forums on Hot Boat back in the day and tried to learn as much as I could from reading all the posts. Hopefully my thread inspires or helps others in the pursuit of their boat dreams too!
Maybe when Sidechick heads back over to the west coast for another race you can make a detour...
Starting to think this 300x has something against mercury trophy props 😡
The 24p Trophy that was on it was cracked and ready to chuck a blade, I picked up a 23 Trophy Plus mid summer and it ran nice except this weekend I happened to look down at the prop and noticed a large crack on one of the...
If this was a river/sandbar type deal that makes sense however this is a 99% race boat so shouldn’t ever be things like that back there. Most guys run a billet flex plate cover and only a driveline loop near the pump intake brace and the driveshaft is completely exposed. I thought about that but...
In an effort to loss a little weight in the boat I figured that lightening the driveline cover might help. The flex plate cover is over at Harold’s for some crack repairs and reinforcement so I figured I’d get these ready.
Im not sure how real machinest do this but I used tape cut to the size...
Found a nice fuel rack online to hold the additional fuel instead of bringing along inside the 4Runner. I’ll have to weigh the tongue when they are full and see how much I end up with on the hitch.
Boats back together again so now it’s just acquire some X85 fuel, and make the appointment at...
Well today was sanding and itching and making a dusty mess in my shop…
Picked up some Duratec Sun Shield to use after I sanded out all of the 700 vinyl ester resin that never setup properly last spring.
All sanded out and cleaned up.
Hope it cures properly. The shop is at 70 and the mixing...
Well started the removal of everything in the way to lay down some Duratec sun shield top coating in the center pod section.
need to dress up the quick hack job I did last season when I had to remove the center bilge board since it wouldn’t clear the oil pan.
Also modifying the pump brace to...
Pretty cool looking mount for sure. After all the surprise issues with the motor refresh the $185.95 they want x2 would be a little much for me to invest in. Still trying to save up for a RacePak data system 😎
