Love the look of that 2:1 drive assembly mate, what a beast! Surely someone out there can donate a balls out, 8000rpm 202 for this bad girl.... for science... hahaha.

Haha I’ve got enough revs now, I just have to man up and take it past half throttle. I just wanted to bring it home in tact for the first time ever 😂

Nice work glad to see she's all sorted..... Extend your exhaust over the back with a dump pipe and water inject it on the dump.. That will quite her down a fair amount... The wee 253 in my jetboat has straight pipes with water injection and is pretty good...

@@motorfab it's on my neabours channel you'll be able to see the motor in this video.... Look up ( Classic Kiwi summer Holiday - Lake Benmore) it's the yellow steel hull jet boat. I'm the mad bugger that's driving it.🤠😎

Running unregulated bowl water pressure to the engine can blow out gaskets or freeze plugs. Hook up a test gauge to make sure is not excessive, if it's over 16lb you can restrict it at the bowl but use a screen before the restrictor to keep all the big stuff from getting in the system. Cheap jet boating is fun, I run a 1961 Hamilton on the upper Snake river in Idaho. The boat was free, 383 Chevy was $700, 3 stage pump is original & I modified a $100 Berkeley nozzle for it.

that belt drive assembly is rad!!!

Thanks mate, it’s been a lot of hard work!

Maybe old but still gotta love the sound of an old red motor sound better with a set of extractors straight piped

What is the belt off? Great setup I would like to do this with a Subaru E82 engine.

your first timing belt drive was a great idea, just not quite big enough. this unit looks like it will handle the stress, only time will tell. as for the exhaust noise: running the tailpipe past the transom will reverberate less in the boat, and plumbing some of the cooling water into the exhaust pipe will quiet it a lot too

Love the vid mate. Little tip when you're using the rode mic i saw you had, by default it is a mono recording so it only sends it to the left ear. What you want to do is put it in stereo while editing so it comes out of both sides. Cheers mate.

Legend, thank you very much! Well spotted on the mic too!

One if your spark plug wires looks like a LAN cable 🤔 nice build.

BIG TIP ! Put the exhaust pipe in the watter , keeps pipe/engine cool and gets rid of the sound !!

she's a ripper mate nice job
