update on my 3.7

I don't want to loose low end power this guy is a well know engine builder here its only around the guide boss that needs a clean up as edelbrock don't touch the casting around the guide boss as it takes time and will have a affect on the retail price . I should off said clean up as people know porting as making the ports larger todays its changing the shape of the port that's important not size--that's why these new style v8 go well the heads make the power

Actually you DID say "clean up" and I knew what you meant.
I've seen it go both ways ..... Both with a "well known" fellow doing the work.
As long as he really does have a good understanding of what works well for a marine engine you are likely ok but sooo many people want to build a boat engine the same way they would a dragster. Just saying be careful mate.

I don't really want a race boat I need good idle and bottom end to get the boat on the plain with my wifes fat *** in there
lol really I want a good idle don't want it thumping when I engage it into gear or doing 5mph at idle

personally I'd most likely leave it alone.. edelbrock makes good stuff right out of the box... MIGHT be worth a call to edelbrock tech line to discuss their thoughts on your planned mods tho

Went and seen my mate at the machine shop and he hasn't done anything to the engine since I dropped the connecting rods off. He told me in 4 weeks and I said I need it now as its too close to summer know and I want to wet it this year

Finally bought some head studs found them on ebay Jeggs has a ebay store . Well I had dramas with that buy too .they said they post internaion and they needed to give me a price. Four weeks I remined them every week no reply so I just bought another set of them and then they woke up . I bought them of ebay because they were the only ones that would sell a set for one head . The studs ended up coming and when I went to collect them the package seemed heavy . when I got home and open it sure enough they sent me 2 head sets not one . I should sell these on ebay and then buy another 1/2 set and keep doing it till they wake up LOL
