I have been in contact with Doc over the past few weeks about getting a set of Hi-Teks and he said the best way to go about it is to do a group buy. So with that being said is there anyone out there who wants to get in on the group buy. He needs at least four more besides me........? ------------- "Some people go an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem" -Pres. Ronald Reagan-  |

Just a bump on the group buy as I saw another person request a price on the hiteks. I am leaning towards picking up a pair myself if a deal comes together now or in the spring. I figure if they don't work out for the 83 because of noise or valve cover interfearence they can always find a home in the 67.

depends on number in the buy, shipping costs and finish type (powder vs polished) but a rough estimate is 1300 to 1800.. the doc will be closer on it ... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Those that are interested need to give me an idea of finish, engine type, and riser size.Allen will be at the Miami Boat Show in Oct. S/S costs have risen out the roof, so the new prices will reflect the change.
The group buy will be the most cost effective foe all involved..........................boat dr ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Doc,
Let me know the specifics and could you provide a picture of the mounting flange showing the bolt up location and port with a ruler in it. The heads on the 408 have relatively large, rectangular, and low ports in relation to stock ford heads his stock mntg flange design might not line up well, but I could tell with a good picture and a scale. -Joe. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Doc,
I know this is kind of a crazy question, but here it goes. At one point, I thought you mentioned that HiTeks can be made for any engine. What about my Gray Marine/AMC/Rambler 327? They would have to be log style because of engine cover height restrictions. Possible?

just a question for you guys....try to make this short..instead of putting 2 k into some manifolds, why not drop another 1k and get a blower or turbo ...seems like you guys want performance..well it doesnt get any better than a blower or turbo...?...
#2-these boats you guys have, do you guys plan on keeping them forever? seems like you would never get out what you got into them. |

| billy- settle down....all i was trying to say is why not spend 1K more and actually get some PERFORMANCE out of it.from what you wrote, it seems like some of you guys like "souping" up the old boats...which is totally cool bill..just if myself was gonna pay 2K it better have a significant hp increase.from what i read the hi teks arent doing that..was curious to see why noone has thrown a blower or turbo on one..as far as money im sure i spend every bit, in reality im sure a lot more cheaddar on watersports..you like to dress up the engine, i like to dress up myself in the latest wake/ski gear/ stereo gear..wasnt trying to diss the hi teks at all bill, just a question! .i will admitt i dont know half of what you guys know on here and learn by asking questions..again bill, im sorry you took this as in insult it seems.. |

In my case, I can't get replacement manifolds and I think mine might be shot. Old ones are hard to find in good shape. If mine can't be repaired, what else can I do?
It is not always about shiny bits and HP gains, but if I get some, all the better. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

Ryan the manifolds are for already high performance engines. you dont go out and put these on a brand new boat or one that has had nothing done to it. yes your right if your set up is mediocre to novice then no performance will be held to sound and "wow thats cool" from your buddies. But if your are building a serious motor then these are needed to let it breath like it should. ------------- "Some people go an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference.

I imagine it would be, though a reverse rotation motor will make it a little more tricky. A turbo, on the other hand, would be a heck of a project to make work. Not sure how you would install one on a wet exhaust system. ------------- |

Ryan you just have to take into account a turbo charger depends on exhaust pressure to spool up and will have lag in the RPMs where you really need the power in a ski boat...and with a blower you will have instant boost BUT of course a blower puts a drag on the motor because the crank is what spools it. If you could possibly run a twin REALLY REALLY small turbo set up (the reason I say reall small is because with littler turbos you catch boost a lot faster) it would be a possibility in a ski boat. I would think a fuel injected computer controlled system woul be about the only way considering the fact you would need to have complete control of your boost.....
Your looking at a LOT more money for a turbo set up for this kind of boat....Go with a srew ------------- "Some people go an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem" -Pres. Ronald Reagan- |

You can do a search here and you will find pics of both a twin turbo century and a supercharged nautique or two that were used in the ski fly a couple years back that probably didn't make production. They were however not reverse rotation.

Boat Doc,
Thanks for the time you spent talking with me last month. I still may be interested in Hi Teks for our Skylark, but are currently working on some replacement cast maniflods we found. We are going to try to keep the boat as stock as possible, that means we will be keeping the 300 Buick in it as long as po$$ible. Thanks again, Keith McIntyre |

Alan, just a side note to the above post.
Reid's set would not fit either, tooo wide also, the story was he built a set for the tall valve covers and did not change the jig. As with 87 the problem was resolved and everyone pleased. But I will not get into the middle of that situation again,Australia phone calls are 15.00 per minute.Boat Dr. sold the manifolds at cost as a favor for all involved.So on the next order it will be a one on one with Allen. I too had a small problem with mine , but not grave enough to send back to be refitted, the anode fitting on the starboard was to the front and not on the rear . You can drain ALL THE WATER ON PORT, but on STARBOARD YOU WILL LEAVE ABOUT 2" OF WATER IN THE MANIFOLD..... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

Other than some minor cleanup, Ive got nothing planned for the '90. Ive got to see how many footers it will pull before I add any more power. Gonna try and get a group of 6 or 7 together in the spring to wring it out. It pulled 2 of us (combined 400+ lbs) at 45mph a few weeks ago. The Tique will be getting all my attention instead. If everything works out, its getting traded for another project boat in the spring. ------------- |

Tim, make sure you take pictures of your progress with the Tique. I'm interested to see what you're doing and how you're doing it. Should be a cool little hot rod for somebody. If it's anything like Larry's, full steam will be 50+ MPH.
I love the torque in the '90. That thing must rip you right out of the hole. Can the pylon take the stress of 6 or 7 footers? Ken ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1052&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - Nautique 2001 |

I should have taken some "before" pics when I first bought it. The engine is assembled now and running, and I buffed the deck out- so its already starting to look better. Ill take some pics of the structural work- mostly so the new owner appreciates what went into it. I expect the thing to top out right around 50 when its done. Sadly, thats faster than the '90- not bad for a stock 302. I figure since Brad's tall pylon didnt budge with 4 of us pulling from it, a few more wont hurt mine. The taller tow point adds to the stress, but the connection to the bow eye helps relieve some too. ------------- |
