Carbed LS1 into my jet boat - Finally Done! Well, it's somewhat cobbled together, but it works well...so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Simple deal, stock LS1 short block, old GTP Stage 2 heads, 210/218 cam (VHP 047), S&W Race Cars front and rear motor plates, RPM intake, MSD 6LS ignition, 67-69 Camaro LS1 swap headers, spiral muffler cut in half to make two mufflers, and closed circuit cooling system.
The LS1 replaces the 468 Olds the boat originally had. With the weight drop, I'll need to move the fuel to the back to get the weight right again...but it still runs well like it is. I was afraid the LS might have a hard time getting up to speed...but it hits 5000 rpm with no problem; I might go to a slightly larger cam in the future...but for now I'm just going to enjoy the boat.
Big thanks goes out to Kurt (98aggie) for his help Monday getting a few issues sorted out.
Sorry for the crappy pics:
