blackvert Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 455 nice choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLS04SS Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) not to shabby.. I also have a jet boat I do have to ask though, why did you select an olds motor?? Not trying to bust but typically a Chevy 454 runs the best in Jet boats.. My bud has a 455 olds motor in a Taylor SS thats not to bad. Looks good though so far Get a Berkley Place diverter for some killer rooster tails Edited May 14, 2007 by BILLS04SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyMan23 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Went with Olds b/c the carlsons had 2 motors to choose frm..the Olds or a Ford 460....the boat orginially had an Olds so we went with that...its not a stock Olds...its been punched to a 461...and all of the typical oiling issues have been taken care of..between 500 and 550 crank hp...and we have a Berkley diverter, it just wasnt on the jet for the pics.....wiring is done...carpet is in...gonna throw the seats in soon and it'll be ready for the water.....

Sweet.. Out of those 2 choices i would have gone with the OLDS as well. Looks awsome so far.. keep us posted with some pics as you get it further along. To bad your not closer. We could hook up Edited May 15, 2007 by BILLS04SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
