    93 Mariah engine mount

    If you use csm it needs to be stitched. The epoxy won't dissolve the binder used with most all csm sold. You can use epoxy, it'll be expensive.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Well thats why it took so long, you need to have a beer or two while doing these sorts of things. :LOL:

    93 Mariah engine mount

    I'll add that before I gutted mine I always had a pull in the steering wheel when coming up on plane. Always assumed it was prop steer. After the rebuild (and seeing how far gone most of the structure was) that no longer happens. Keep that in mind that meant the whole boat was twisting.

    changing from a 2 barrel to a 4 barrel carburetor

    I picked up about 4 mph on mine but thats a vortec headed 4.3l. I haven't finished dialing in the carb yet but I ran the same 21p with the 2bbl and 4bbl. The 21 on the 4bbl performs the same as the 19 did with the 2bbl as far as hole shot cruise etc. For the price I don't think its worth it but...

    Chinese carbs

    My CC company didn't want to hear it. (Business visa with chase) Is what it is and I really can't complain about them as they've been good with every other thing we have needed from a CC company. If I were a few years younger I'd have probably thrown the generator through the front window of...

    Chinese carbs

    I got a Honda generator new from a dealer. Ran like crap out of the box. Brought it back to the dealer the next morning and they told me I ran bad gas in it and ruined the carb. They also stated carbuerator problems aren't covered by warranty. Called a few other service centers provided directly...

    215 sundowner transom

    I have to say. Wearing the full face respirator and hooded tyvek the itching was minimal the whole time. A trick for relieving it is if after the fact you have it, use a lint roller or clear packing tape on the area. It'll pull most of it out. I lean over a lot of fiberglass filters and piping...

    215 sundowner transom

    I'm unsure what they could be for and don't think they need to be put back.

    cooking

    My oven still wanders with the steel but it is even at least. My cheap electric counter top unit cooks nicely though and is actually what I used for this one as I didnt want to warm the whole house. My oven being an older unit is smaller inside and as such is limited in room despite being a full...

    cooking

    I used to toast my bagels in the lab grade ovens at work. We certified the temperature with 2 probes in different locations a few times a month. Those were beasts and heavily insulated though. I never expected a home oven to get anywhere near that. I know how mine behaves and adjust accordingly. :)

    cooking

    Tossed up a Sicilian the other night. Did a 5 day cold ferment with an 8 hour proof. Did a par bake this go around too which I don't normally do. Came out tasty.

    Carb tuning

    Haven't much messed around since my last post. Ended up getting a plate for a wide band just to confirm my suspicions with the tuning. Did run it on the trailer just to test it and she is fat. Seeing around 11.5 -12 at idle and dips to 10 at 1500 or so. I've had this wide band and confirmed it...

    Engine, Carb or Prop? need suggestions or ideas please.

    Do a 383. Big blocks are nice but damn heavy. 383 would be a good compromise.

    Trailer Load musings

    Yes. My tandems are all leaf. The only torsions I own are singles and that is the only application where I felt the cost is kind of worth it and you get a benefit. Tandems tow so much better to begin with that I wouldn't bother.
