The boys (stoney and steve) have been spending a bit of time in the workshop preparing the boat for a hit at Super boat. The motor is a Rodeck small block prepared by Engine re builders P north and assembled by Andrew smith of smith Automotive Levin, These guys have a proven record as they were responsible for The class winning 408 that Stoney and Steve ran in Lites for 5 seasons.
Here are some pics of what we have been up to, We gave the job of the exhausts to Steve and you can see the results,
