Engine Builders?

I think Gary Teague did Predator and Peto is the service guy. Predator is on the GT website as well.

Service guy??? Larry built those from the ground up. I just had major motor work done on the Skater by Larry and as usual it is perfect. It was said before, go straight to the top AND save money. Larry's 520-623-5373

How exactly did you blow your 496? supercharger?
Seized it. No supercharger. One bid ass Demon carb, thats it.

I talked to Larry today for some quotes on a 580 short block and a 496 setup, I would suggest talking to him, alot of the circle boats guys use larry as well, seems to be a straight shooter.
Awesome. Will do. I am leaning towards keeping it a 496 as I just very recently purchased the CMI Sport Tuned Header Pkg for the 496 application and custom made stainless tail-pipes. All for a mere 46hundee. Man I've got some work and spendin to do....!!! :skull: Gotta rebuild my Banshee for the desert season. Gotta rebuilt/buy an engine for my boat. Put that on top of all the unfinished projects I have going on at da pad. But - the house always comes after the motorsports.

SoCalSouthpaw--Larry Peto is your guy. I am planning to have him bore out my 496HO, redo the internals and add a 3.3L Whipple-- its around 800hp for $14-$15K. Very good price for a new 400hp. His track record is great with all motors and this conversion is no different.
As for the Predator motors--Peto built them, GT rigged the boat, and yes Peto services and throttles the boat.
