Well from the few that have this set up sounds like I'm pretty close to where I should be. I think the engine that was swapped in was quite possibly a automotive engine. The reason I'm thinking of chain stretch is that I can't seem to get the timing right. It won't run right without the timing light showing around 29* advance at idle I still have to check and make sure the pointer and balancer match up at top dead center, probably my first weekend project. I tried to set it at 8* but it doesn't want to start with tht timing and at 8* initial I can only get 27mph top speed and forever to get on plane. I don't seem to have any detonation where it is now and I think I'm actually still somewhat retarded as far as what it sounds like now. I will do some more checking and try to get some fresh fuel in it this weekend. I just rebuilt the carb but I need a new secondary metering rod hanger since mine looks slightly bent. This thing has been a can of worms since I got it. Thanks for all the help and if anyone has more performance numbers with this set up I'd appreciate it seems like not many 260hp I/o's are out there. Thanks agian!
