    No pink! I already said that to the wife when she suggested that.

    Convincor LS Swap Project Thread

    I love the inovation in this. I'm thinking of putting a 6.0 out of a 2001 Denali in my recently aquire 91 maxxum 229. I've already went the LS route with my 68 chevelle and added an S475 turbo to it. I'm not sure if I'm going to go N/A, or twin turbos on it. I'll most likely go N\A at first...

    Maxxum 229

    Well, I think I'm going to keep it and slowly aquire the parts I need and spend money I don't have to restore her. I started wets sanding the lower hull. My thought is to paint the lower stripes orange and charcoal and paint the top orange, black, and charcoal. Then have the interior done kind...

    Maxxum 229

    I can get a denali with a 6.0 for $1500 and most likely get a free engine parting it out. The bravo drive, interior, and small parts is what I'm looking at to have to spend money on. What do you guys think I can get this boat in the water for?

    Was it yours at one time? It came from the New Rochelle area.

    Maxxum 229

    If i end up keeping this boat, my thoughts on a power plant will be a 6.0 LS1 N/A to get it going. Then if things go well, maybe twin 62mm turbos. But baby steps first. I already have a Turbo LS in my chevelle, so I know what I'd be getting myself into in that aspect.

    Maxxum 229

    This past weekend a buddy of mine was looking to get rid of a boat for free. I told him I'd take it. Its a 1991 Maxxum 229. Overall the hull and transom are solid. There is one spot where I have to replace some flooring. The bad part is he pulled the engine and bravo 1 from it. The gel coat is...

    They are both 8 bolts. Good luck on the next project. All this boat talk is foreign language to me but its a learning process. Since I'm a car guy I probably would of had an I/O running perfect in an afternoon.

    I will have to check the timing and clean the carbs and start fresh with that. Then ill be doing powerhead swaps to the good mid and lower over the next month. I'm going to try and get the second engine running and sell it to recop some of my money before winter to put that money into the glass...
