Hovercraft , but not the one I saw.
The one I saw was in Cache Crek but I cant find it now.
Swap Hovercraft for an ARGO / ATV

 

Heres the Cache creek one
SCAT Hover Craft

 

Thanks for the links Ken.

Its too bad they are mini and slow HC's.

I was going to build a big one capable of carrying many people, and also tossing a moose, elk or whatever on to get it out during hunting season.
And fast enough to be fun for play time.
The time required to build it from scratch is insane though.
So maybe oneday I will buy one, already made.

Anyways I have been looking around some at what motors cost, and realize I shall never recoupe the money or time I put into these ones I have.
But i will sell them for $3,400 each, or $6,500 for both.

I have about $7,000 into them, plus many many hours of my time as well.

Actually not sure if I want to sell both of them anyways, maybe sell 1 and keep 1.....would be a perfect motor to drop into the hull of this boat i know of I am guessing I could buy.

Its a river boat racing hull....Small and light, but its just the hull, needs wiring, gauges, interior, motor, pump etc.
And I bet these 351's would be sweet in it.

 

did the FPR shim yesterday...took it for a ride today...no real difference except for the idle which has smoothed out and the throttle is a tad more responsive...so I guess it was a worth while 5 mins..)

Changed my oil today, broke my dipstick handle in half while taking it out. Good part is its Kinda nice not to have to use jack stands to get under the truck.

 

That extra room is nice. Kinda sucks about the dipstick though.

Thought about pulling apart my turbo and cleaning today. That's about as far as it went.

 

I may have gotten carried away with preparing for painting. Now I'm taking the front clip apart, so I can fix some holes in the fenders, paint the rusty chrome lower grille, and get at the rust hole in the lower cowl that splashes me in the rain. Those bolts holding the front clip together are a pain... clip nuts that rust tight and then spin. Some are in locations where I can't reach them with vise-grips or a cutoff disc. It doesn't help that a P.O. used grade 5 bolts when he put this clip together.

I was going to leave the front clip alone until I could replace it with a proper '57 grille, but a lot of it is straight and not badly rusted. The main chrome part will shine up well, if I can just paint over the rusty headlight doors and lower grille section. Too bad a P.O. used undercoating on the fenders that didn't stick, trapping dirt and moisture so they've rusted worse than if they'd been left alone.

I took the valve cover off to check the rocker clearances, and beat some dents out, scraped and sanded the old paint off, and painted it in Ford Red. At below-freezing temperatures, since I needed to drive someplace. Although the paint got scraped getting it on, it really dresses up the engine.

 

Sounds to me like you have a nice little project going there angus.

 

Just thought I would revive this thread. I ordered and X3 programer from 5 start performance today. Should have the programer early next week and the custom tunes by the end of next week. I am not looking for a huge increase in power or economy, just want the drive by wire changed (throttle body, transmission, torqconverter)

 

Squeezed one more mod into March. Finally added a switch for the interior lights. Now when traveling at night and the kids are asleep, no more interior lights when you open the door. (Or when I go fishing, which now I can't hardly wait for now that this is done.)

 

changed my oil, cleaned my throttle body and rotated my tires this month.

 

swabbed out my intake, filled it full of water & mud.

 

For some reason that doesn't suprise me.

 

Haha you *******...... And you didn't even call me to come along

 

I had a blast dirt biking on both sat and sun.

The new jump some people built in the barnhartvale pit is awesome.

Its about a 45 foot gap, but don't come up short....Saw a guy land about 6 or so feet short on saturday, and he got hauled away to the hospital by his pals.
