I will also be installing the sea-dek on the factory swim step as well to make it look as OEM as possible

I'd like to get a mat of that sea del for the floor inside the cockpit...

In hindsight, it would have been cheaper then the custom snap in carpet I had made.

2 pieces left on my engine project:

1. Heads
2. Pushrods

Picked up a set of Merlin "big valve / big port" steel heads today for a song and a dance. Inconel exhaust and stainless intake valves, 7/16" rocker studs, chrome moly guide plates, Isky springs and keepers (setup for .625" lift...Ill be running .612"...so a perfect match)

Spoke to World products Friday for a bit before pulling the trigger on the heads from the seller. Shared with them the parts Im using. Their prediction is 450-475 hp. They recommended I set the rev limit to 5500 instead of the factory Magnum 5150 rpm. They claim that the parts are good for 6000 all day long and at 5500 she will just sing like a bird in spring.

Waiting til heads arrive, rebuilt and installed to determine push rod length. They are local and are just a day away.

Sounds like we are on the same pace. Order my seadek Friday and cut all the bench seats out today install subs tomorrow evening and start recovering. Can't wait to see how your turns out. You got a target date to complete by?

Rear seat is covered in foam, vinyl going on tomorrow.

Swim step design finished

Merlin heads arrived today. going to machine shop tomorrow. motor should be ready to start rigging next friday and installed any time after that. Kinda wish I had more time to dyno it. Love to know EXACTLY how many pony's it has.

New vinyl is always nice! Can't wait to see the finished product. As for dyno numbers, that would also be interesting. I know you posted all of your upgrades in a previous post but did you say you were doing anything ignition wise?
