This thread will be to document my build up of a 3 liter with the 555 Motorola ECM. Its going to eventually go on my hydrostream but until then I'm going to use it on my 25' C-Hawk to for testing. Right now the boat is running an old 225 carb powerhead converted to 250 4 butterfly intake with the twin computers, and a 300 on box. Its seen a best of 44mph.
I want to use this powerhead we are building up for a race this fall and to test it before it goes on the hydrostream. If I do something wrong and it eats itself on the chawk at WOT I get towed home.... on the stream I get wet.
The first stage is going to be Chris Carson reeds and stuffers. I've used his reeds in all my motors and countless customer motors with great success. This will be my first time with the stuffer though. I'm also considering stripping the cages and using his reeds for that. Thoughts from anyone?
Also in this first Stage Chaz will be cutting my heads to tighten the motor up some. Going to keep it 93 octane friendly for the moment.
Starting with a low hour motor I went ahead and pulled the heads to send to Chaz to cut. Need port height and style to do the math on compression. No compression relief notches and 45.5mm height.
