nice boat cave, what are ya running for power?

Blown 515 BB Chevy. I'm learning the hard way. It broke again but should be ready by July 4th. Maybe Sooner. I just picked up new RCB Crank Hub & degree ring for it. I still need new pistons & rods.

I beat that last motor up by loading and unloading the pump at Saguaro lake. cracked the crank in Yuma back in March. Like I said, I'm learning. This build should be a tad bit better.

I started a thread at PB on it called "The Official cave goes big" in West Coast South. I didn't know that the Jet section was back up till a few days ago. :thumbsup

Here is the most recent image of my ride.

Main colors are original, pin striping was added in 1995.

The boat came with a 429, Offenhauser intake, and log style, through transom manifolds.

From what I've read its a slash of the Southwind, Its a Kachina. Mild 454 BB Chevy, MSD Clay Smith cam, Place Diverter. I call her the kidney cruncher. The water here is Wake Boat Heaven. I'm glad I didnt sell her. On a positive note My Rods came in for the Liberator:D

Dam that's a nice cruiser.

Thank (that's if you're talking about mine). The interior is going to be redone again this winter completely back to original. Had an interior guy let his dad do it. He rushed it and it now looks like a really bad Tijuana job!
