318/360 industrial engine info
throwing anything high dollar at this project would ruin the fun, i have some goodies like kb pistons and such but in reality this boat will sink....eventually...all airboats do...this can be done with a stock 360 shortblock, direct drive and all I have to do is build the rigging and bolt it together, I'll look for some good videos to post up for those that havent been around or seen airboats in action, they are loud, obnoxious and seem to go almost anywhere....just need enough thrust to do so without tearing up the hull, the direct drive boats don't get any respect from the aircraft engine guys and about the same from the guy's with gearboxes except one ford guy that drag eaces and he's still gittin crapp but he's knockin on there door to where they shuttin the yapp's, slowly but surely
