But wait, there's More!



25. Thermostat 143 degree Skidim


26. PCM 80A 1.23:1 Ford transmission. Skidim This was a very important change. My original transmission, from the day I got the boat, was earsplitting. Based on comments on other boards, it seems there was a run of 1.23:1 transmissions that had the gears cut incorrectly. The whine was not a typical transmission whine, but a very loud high pitched whirl or squeal. So Vince (Skidim) assured me the newer version would bolt right up, and it did. That upgrade literally changed our boating experience.


27. Protec Retro Distributor (RK107025A) . Skidim Some ask me, "what's the best upgrade you did?" This one is top three, to be sure. I can turn the key, even when hot, and idle at 400 RPM. I picked up at least four MPH.


28. GT-40 Heads Tim Mather @ www.cylinder-heads.com If you ever need new heads, Tim is the guy. They had reasonably priced head to my doorstep in five days. They bolted right up and boy did they wake my 351W. Head jobs are not fun, but the youtube vids have changed how I do things. No more reading from a greasy finger-print laden borrowed Chilton's.


29. All Gaskets; new bolts; entire head kit skidim That made it easy.


See the photos below. And yes, that carpet is original. And yes, the motor mount bolts are rock solid.
