Old as Dirt
+1y
Found a 5.0L factory roller engine with the good GT40P heads out of a 1998 Explorer on Craigslist this morning.. 200.00 if I pull it.. runs, but will go through it and add a cam, springs, roller rockers, intake, and Holley 650 Double Pumper carb.. Should be into the whole deal for less than 1200.00 fresh, pushing 325HP and with good reliability.. won't take much to push this little 16' Ski Boat.. hull is only 525lbs.. all said and done, will be about 1400lbs with 2 people in it.. 1 hp per 4lbs.. your average CCLB Dually weighs about 5800lbs.. about 17lbs per HP(350HP)
Think about that for a minute.. like having a Dually with 1600+HP!
