Well in order to TRY to  keep up with Cuda the "Post ho supremo" , Thought I'd add this :)
Santa backed into my driveway to in his big brown truck and brown uniform (UPS) and dropped these

Eagle Alloys 20x10 and 305-50x20 Goodyear Eagle GTs (extra load) Merry Christmas to me. Now al I have to do is tell the bride :eek:

Looks great ;D You must have been anxious to put them on today in 30 degree temps ::) Get any knuckle busters??
 
I only tried one wheel  on the front and back just to make sure the fit. I'm going to wait till spring to start using them. The salt on the roads just screws them up :mad:.
I see your from the area.
 
No , but one of these days I will. Been on the Egg Harbor River and the ICW from Acy. to Cape May. Usually boat the Delaware River and Northern Chesapeake Bay.

Factory was 265-75x16 on 16x7 wheels. I put on 305-60x16 on 16x8 Centerlines.These 305-50x20's are just about the same diameter as the 305-60x16. About a 1/2 inch smaller and still bigger than the originals ;)
 
I figured the handling should change. My son put them on his 3/4 ton 'Burban and made a world of difference. That's where I first saw these wheels and liked them.

Yea. Good attitude. Those GM engines that came attached to a Formula make it good through and through. ;D ;D I saw your dyno sheets on those engines. If Cuda calles them Pepto Bismol engines then he must be talking about all that fizz they have!

BTW- how long, or how many hours, are those engines supposed to last with that strong of a build?

Them bad boys are tough enough to wear PINK. Got a total of about 90 hours on the bottom ends. Changed heads last winter...they have about 35 hours. Changed cams winter before , got about 60 hours on them. Still have some messing to do with the carbs this year but I don't plan to do much but change the oil and filters till 500hr.
Funniest part is , I don't think there is a single GM part in them. Merlin blocks , Canfield heads , Team G intakes , Comp Cams cam , lifters , roller rockers . Canton oil pans , Melling oil pumps , Carter fuel pumps , Eagle rotating assy , Total Seal rings , ARP bolts , Cometic head gaskets , B&B valve covers , Merc Thunderbolt ignition and believe it or not FORD coils because they make a nice 50,000 volt coil thats compatible with the Merc ignition.....OK OK it just hit me , They do have genuine GM Flywheels but they were modified to internal balance.
 
Yea, I heard that "it's reallly not a GM engine" from Stecz20 on OSO. When ordering or selecting parts the application listings are still by GM production references and bolt patterns. If the bolt-ups matched Ford or Dodge references then those boys would be claiming fame.
Some Ford guys have that GM denial bad.

It's all good though. Good HP makes for fun on the water.
 
I'm really a GM person...couldn't tell you how many I've owned over the years. I also like to have fun so just for the hell of it I added these to the boat ;D
