I have a 69 Mustang. I recently did the heads and it seems to run great. However, I can't seem to get more than 3300 rpm in the water. Could I possibly need a different prop? I don't know what I have, or what it should be. In neutral, I could redline it easily. Any suggestions?

I would suggest that you remove the prop and take it to your local prop shop. The diameter and pitch should be stamped on the prop. You may need a shallower pitch.
What engine are you running? What rated horsepower at what RPM? What is the rated torque?
Also, Michigan Wheel (www.miwheel.com, I think) has a propellor analyzer. You can give the engine spec for your boat and it's intended use and they will make a suggestion as to the pitch you need.
Good Luck

Hi
You might want to post in the Engine repair forum. You will get more replies. Need more info as listed above. Engine, prop size. Tranny oil level,etc.
