The Real Baja Boats !

 

                                                            The rebuild an old tired Ford 460

After a trip to the machine shop, different set of heads, and a .030" bore job it is home again.  The heads were junk both had 2 cracks.   And to think that some people actually paid extra for water injection systems!   Now comes the painting process. My paint booth is the back yard so I have to get on it before the snow flies!  Here are a couple of pictures.  The intake sure looks nice but I am hoping to go aluminum if I can find one that is low enough to fit under the hatch.
