Dick, looking great. Have a question. I see you have multiple steel screen filters on the same line. Can you explain the reasoning for this?

Did everything go OK? The suspense is killing me!

Wishing you the best of luck on that day Dick.

The evidence of what happened is there in the pictures. I am admittedly confused as to how it happened though. This engine was fired a couple of times previously. I would have expected contact...

In all of it's glory at the Mark Sutter AOMCI meet. Good shot of the "business end" of The Beast :cool:

Really liking that throttle bracket/assembly. Also, what material are you using for the fuel lines and does it come in clear? I'll need something like it for my loopers.

Congratulations. I know I speak for all when we have all been anxiously awaiting this moment. Can't wait to see her in the water. Amazing.

Speechless

I would give a couple fingers for that 75H tower and foot :cool:

Awesome awesome pictures. I have to say I think that is the first time I have seen the electrical system setup (in the boat) from back then. Definitely interesting.

I assume you're satisfied with the fitting? Truly awesome work. This was the moment I have been waiting for (other than it firing in the future). Also see a very cool original looper 6 on a 75H...

Dick, if any situation or project justified messing with a speedmaster like this, THIS would be it. Awesome. Out of curiosity what generation/year is this speedmaster?

Very nice! And I spy a 75H tower and foot :D. Question, so this boat is not setup for a surface piercing prop? I don't see how it could with the way the boat comes back on both sides.

Are those adjustables a mercury part or did you fabricate them from stock. All my adjustables for the Carter N's I have for my two loopers are missing. Just curious.

That carb adapter is simply an amazing piece of craftmanship. Well done, and SO CLOSE!

I can't stop looking at the photo with the carbs on. Wow. I can't begin to fathom how many horses this beast is going to pull.

I have read that later loopers had the set pin holes in the crank case deleted. Why did you elect to utilize them? Just wondering cause this is fascinating stuff!

OK, now i understand what you were doing with the intake ports. First time during this project I was confused by the explanations. I have seen some quincy loopers with ports covered, but not all. ...

Are you talking about the 6 cylinder event in hillsdale being cancelled, or something different? While my 6 wint be ready for it I was considering hearing out there to be a spectator.

Can't wait to see the cranktrain installed!

Truly amazing. I'm glad we have the 40ci Looper because I actually understand what I am looking at now. Really can't wait for you to install the crank train!

Thanks for the explanation. Your pictures explain the comparison good as well. Another question. The later quincy pipes (to my understanding) had water injection at the elbow. What is the...

Curious, but is there a difference between the wider sweeping elbows and the "quicker" sweeping elbows? I know the wider ones were the later style right? But I see that the ones you had made are...

Great pictures. I love those rigs. Nice looking job on the restoration work too.

Are those heads thicker than the original Quincy heads?

This. I was 10 years old (will never forget it) the first time my dad went with me to Sears with a wrench or two that was worn after 30-40 years of use he wanted to replace. When we went to the...

Gene. There are tools other than Craftsman?!?! ;)

I love these so much, the sound is just breathtaking. However, I have never seen or heard a video of a 4 or 2 cylinder looper. If anyone has a link or one available let me know. I'd love to...

If this were mine, I'd use a standard crank case cover. I wouldn't need the 6 carb setup, I'd want it as close to the original Loopers as possible. Amazing machine work!

Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

Reason for 2 plugs per cylinder? Also what ignition system will drive that setup? Unless I am missing something here that's 12 spark plugs.

One word. WOW

Just purchased a brand new block for my 6 and will have it freshly ported and use my old block as a donor motor. Then, finally, it will run right. It's a shame you guys are so far away. Would love...

If I had the expertise, know-how, tools, and time to do this, I would make the Looper exactly as it was put together, without a single improvement as well.
