    OK. Since none of you guys could tell me much about the boat...... but the valve covers have stickers that say 454/405 hp. Think maybe I got an LS6?CC
    Yes ! Just like this one out of the Spectra .The solid cam was replaced with a hydraulic one , hence the drop in HP from 450 .

    The logs are original from 1972

    Carb is also original 800 Holley DP on top of TR2 intake . I've used a 2" spacer for easy removal of the valve covers , should you need to peak in there occasionally .Topped with a Nicson bracket holding a cam driven Motorola alternator unit .

    Nice !!!!
    While I like the looks of the spectra transom better, the Howard one (supposedly) doesn't get the gel-stress-cracks in the back corners.
    Last i asked Gene & Mike, they said they would still build me one of those as a bare hull... for a really lot of $$jack.
    Contrats to you!
