for those interested,I did find these engines listed as: LIBERTY Classics 1/6 Scale 426 C.I Hemi Top Fuel Dragster Replica Engine , at amazon .com ...................price 31-35.00....

while this static hemi weighs just around a pound,it will initially be configured into the overall COG.....(yes,NO radio box),and it does sit as low as it can go in the bottom of the hull,So hopefully, no top-heavy tendencies will be noted, keep in mind Y'all,this is a sport boat for now till further testing can be done,but I sure do like the WOW factor.....

I think I'll get me one for my drag boat .

mopartybob

It started out as a whim (brain fart) for Paul M's drag boat build up, but I guess I was overcome by how good it looked when put into any hull..... [8D] I do believe PARMA makes a blown hemi in a smaller (and lighter) scale unit with just as much detail.......here's a PARMA hemi in my buddies 1/10 home brew scale gasser...

as mentioned in Dana's thread, I plan on doing a full cockpit on this build,w/rear bench seat,and no radio box,still sourcing for parts availability, might have to go to the aircraft side of the house for gauges,and stuff,any one got resources for scale stuff ....cleats,etc...etc....etc...

Aeromarine has parts like what youre looking for. Not advertized but they carry them in their shop.

misshydro

That HEMI belongs in a drag hydro!!!!! not a V[:'(]

mopartybob

something that detailed will look good in any hull...

Dreamin Hemi

C'mon now...us Hemi lovers are everywhere!

Dreamin Hemi

Your also a little biased....

misshydro

Not in a V boat!![:'(]HEMI's look good in Drag hydros and cats!!!! Oh Bob send it my way and I'll put that in your blackjack!!!

mopartybob

Hey Dana, is this cowling still available??? it would save me ALOT of time fabbing a hatch/engine cover .... [8D]

Dana W

nope , it didn't do anything to me so I toss it and redesigned it to what it is now .

mopartybob

rats.....I do see a drag cowl (sort of) in this pic., I was gonna cut the top half of the cockpit off,to the front of the engine cover,then open up the flat, back panels on top from the rear of the engine hatch to about 2" from the transom,this would've effectively hidden the zen (somewhat) made room for the scale driver,and opened up the area for the static HEMI,(can you see it now).... ,I'll also be using the M5 from WHH,and this clutch set-up...(maybe) we'll see.... [8D]

mopartybob

allrighty then,moooooving right along,finally recieved my hardware package,let this build BEGIN.......pics will follow shortly...

Dreamin Hemi

AHHHH, your a tease!!![sm=angry_smile.gif] Lets see this hardware!!!

mopartybob

LOL...No tease,did'nt want to show it w/o it bein on the hull.... still have to order a few more tings to complete and the graphics package.....which will be done in the same color as the red anodizing....the name for this one....GLADI8HER.... I really hate to run this power compromising header, but it seems in order to use this dual exhaust muffler, i dont have any choice...or do I??? the rules at my pond are really strict,and runnin gas boats can only be done on sat.,tues., n thurs., from 9-1:00pm, but electrics can run anytime anyday, which is what i'm hoping to do with this set-up..... [:-]

Dreamin Hemi

Very nice.....looks like a great match for your hull. Keep the pictures coming!

Bob you will get a decent speed from that boat even with that deep vee header so dont worry about it mate,it will look way cool too which is a bonus.Keep the pics coming mate,by the way i hate that name i bet you know who chose that one.
Mart

Dana W

Wow , nice looking boat there Robert . You're going to love the way it handles on the water .

mopartybob

thanks all, more to follow......shortly [8D] Dana, any updates on the sport cowl???

mopartybob

Mooving right along....I'll be using the T-bar w/oil cup..my Question for those out there is this... I'll be notching the tube to allow the oil to hit the flex,but how deep should I run the tube into the stinger....should I just run the tube into the stinger 1/4" and pack the stinger with marine grease? would this still allow the lighter grade oil to be drawn from the cup into the rest of the stuffing tube by virture of the cable wind ??? I'll also be using a rubber boot on the collet end to prevent splashing and to keep it all clean...any info,help,comments are welcome...thanks

Dana W

Robert I'll be painting your sport cowl this Saturday .
