It might have already been listed, but when does the deal end? Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk

Where is this fx you speak of? I might would be interested.

I'd be looking for a silverado with the 6.2. There are a few out there. Take it to a good tuner with a dyno and you should be able to get close to 400 HP to the rear wheels and still get 20mpg on the interstate. You'll never know a boat is behind it. I tow my boat with an 08 sierra Denali with the 6.2 and love it. The truck is fun to drive and good on gas. If you're not dead set on a Chevrolet I'd look at the denalis too, there are more of them.

I'm pretty sure it's a skylon swoop classic. Had one on my concourse. Sent from my SCH-R530U using Tapatalk 2

I ordered a tower mirror arm off ebay and got a really good price, but I dropped the ball on making sure it came with an adapter for the cipa mirror I currently have. The cipa mirror I have mounts to the windshield and will not mount to the arm. I found this adaptor http://shop.monstertower.com/p-38-cipa-extreme-mirror-adaptor.aspx, but it plainly says it will only mount to a monster tower mirror mount. Looking at the pictures, the round part on the monster arm looks similar to the one I bought. Is this just a scare tactic to make people buy their product or will it not work. Or does anyone know of where I can buy an adapter to mount the mirror I currently have or will I just have to buy a whole new mirror with an adapter.

I have mentioned this before, but I am seriously considering changing engines in my enzo. I know everyone thinks I'm crazy for even wanting to do it, but sometimes my ideas are a little wild and I'm use to the abuse. Anyway I have an ls3 engine with a good vvt cam sitting on the stand in the shop, that is ready to go in something. My question is does anyone have or know where to find used pcm zr engines or ls indmar engines from a totaled boat or an engine that blew. The main things I am needing are exhaust manifolds and a few accessory pieces. I really havent found any cheap manifolds. I have tossed around the idea of taking zo6 manifolds and turning them upside down and using my existing risers and have an exhaust shop fab up an adapter to connect the two, but I really dont want to go that route, I am trying to use as many bolt on parts that were meant for a boat and try not to do to much fab work. The wiring doesnt really bother me, ive got a wiring harness and pcm and I dont think i'll have to cut up too many wires. Basically I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible but do a nice job. Right now I'm in a position where I want to pull the engine in my boat but I'm not going to until I know for sure I can do this at a reasonable price.

There is one for sale in the wakeworld classifieds.

Didn't want to hijack Wakedoc's earlier thread but I just got done constructing a new shop. Here are a few pictures. Also a picture of the pontoon boat I'm giving new life.

Which engine do you have in your boat? Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

You're probably right about that, we were talking about the technology they were using in 09 because we were trying to compare similar parts between my setup and theirs and nothing was mentioned about new stuff. Back then they still used a cable but it was a gen iv engine with VVT and we were just trying to see if pcm stuff was the same as the GM harness I have. Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

My definition is probably the same as yours. My boat is a cable driven throttle body. According to what the guy at pcm told me centurion and pcm still utilize a cable to run the throttle. in the newer boats the cable runs to a potentiometer at the back of the boat, which then tells the computer where the throttle is which tells the throttle body where it's supposed to be. I also talked to indmar and if I understood the guy right, (i think he got tired of my questions) the boats their engines go in have the throttle control module at the lever. I was talking about keeping the replacement engine drive by wire. I'm thinking I can retrofit a stock gas pedal with the throttle control module and hook my throttle cable to it.

I talked to the guy at michigan motors and he was pretty helpful. He basically told me to forget about everyone else's equipment and use what I have and things will be a lot cheaper and easier, which is what I was thinking, but it's nice to have reassurance.

Well I talked with PCM and had a few questions answered. It looks like i'm going to have to fab up a way to run the throttle to utilize the perfect pass and keep it drive by wire. PCM nor indmar use the factory gm engine wire harness' so if I make this work it's all going to be custom if I want to tune the engine correctly and use my computer and harness.

Ok that makes sense. If you look at Indmar's ls3 they have a nice header deal that looks really expensive, and it doesn't look like the water gets in them until the very end of the header. But I think I'm going to use the old style zr manifolds before the cat style. I can get them for around 750 for everything minus the studs. Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

Yea everything I have is fully electronic and I want to keep it that way. If I have to change over to drive by cable that means a different throttle body and didn't wiring harness and computer, and I might lose the VVT and have to go with a different cam but I'm not sure about that. My big question is how does the drive by wire work on the pcm engines? Is there a sensor right there at the throttle lever on a separate wiring harness or do they still use a cable that goes to the back to control a module there at the engine. I know they still use a cable for the transmission. Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

I don't know exactly how the manifolds work but I think the water only goes through the collector. I don't think the water would be allowed in the lower part to sit on the valves every time you switched off. But they aren't terribly expensive so that's a minor holdup. The beauty of these engines is the variable valve timing. Its like having two camshafts. I really don't have to suffer low end torque. on paper I should be right around 450 HP and 450 torque with a somewhat conservative tune. That brings me to my next question, how are the newer boats with drive by wire set up? Do they still have a cable that runs some kind of module just like the gas pedal in a vehicle controls? If not I'm going to have to fab up something to keep my engine drive by wire to utilize the variable valve timing pcm. Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

More or less for fun. The reason would be more power and a smoother engine. There is nothing wrong with the the black scorpion 330 engine and that is why I'm making sure I have everything covered before I go any further. Plus who wouldnt like a nice choppy idle on a boat, especially with the sideswipe.

I just was reading through the threads about membership and I'm not a supporting member anymore and didn't realize it. I need to fix that, I guess that's why my mailbox is full. Shoot me an email, jdb11386@gmail.com Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk 2

Hit my head again the other day on my evolution tower and thought about how it would be nice to have the gladiatior tower. Has anyone done this swap?
