Default "vette" boat

I have changed plans for my lq4 motor again. It started as a single turbo in an old 300zx. Then I decided to put it in my sons 85 mustang coupe. I decided that 450 hp at the tires is a little much for my senior in high school so he is getting a gt 40 headed 302.

The new project and final resting place of this fresh lq4 now with ported LS3 heads and a carb will be in this really cool 1972 Schuster jet boat I bought on a steel. I am replacing the 454 that came with the boat with this LSX motor. Since this is still a conversion I decided this was the correct place to post this. Here is a couple of pics of the boat with more to come.

Be sure to post pics. I'm still kicking myself for selling the marine 351C exhaust logs and GTO oil pan I was planning on using for an LSx boat.
