    I find all this very interesting , as I have 4 - 49 cube motors, including a 65 short shaft, a 70 powerhead on a hustler short shaft, a 70 long shaft w/power trim and a 19 75 -75 horse Hustler short shaft , that had been raced in Sport E .

    ahhh well i am in business then, no havent found any without castin liners..

    so to make this work with the mod50 pistons what clearances will i need etc? as you mentioned the 25hr life span will come into play...
    im tipping it more then the .008?

    the piston +.008 be good, when She gets to temp She'll be that .004 -.0045 Mr. NERSTROM was lookin for.

    She's guna get hot on the exhaust bridges, best not to make them toothpick thin, be best to back them out of the bore.

    i'll get a fresh shot of the press in Mod50 case

    the stacks will speed up the air more, the low pressure at the Ventori will get too high and the mix will get too fat, slows her down.

    don't think Phill has any bullets left, thinkin Sea-Way gots one ring at 3.030
