These are the last engines I built over five years ago now. My 84 Dodge 150 that I restored I owned it 24 years. And a 454 that I custom built for a neighbors Sanger flat bottom.
I had to start from scratch because the boat had no engine, battery box or wiring. Made the engine mounts also and any brackets or other various things. Had to source pretty much
everything you see. He ended up with some hull repairs and while the engine was out he had it dyno tested, I was surprised-it put out 484 hp at 5000. The Dodge engine is a 85 318
early roller cam motor. That carb is a real 1985 625Cfm Carter AFB that I installed restrictors in to change the cmf to 525 and re-jetted to match 16.8 mpg highway.
