Stuff the tender, i'm prepared to loose the back dinning area just to have that engine and the huffer up through the floor.

I reckon i'd loose the odd hat or two though...

Back? You'd have to front mount it and look over the top of it  ;D.
Like a F.E.D, only a boat.

Here's a couple of things I wouldn't do, would change, or believe could be done a little differently :)

Add a belt guard to protect that fuel line with belt failure.
Get that fuel line out from within the belt area
Move that fuel cell. Most blown alcohol engine fires are ignighted by the pipes. So I personally wouldn't stick the cell between the pipes :D 
G force will work with you with a forward mounted cell, not rear mounted. That's a big ask for the pump to operate like that.
Rags don't make good fuel caps.
Barrel valves are set with leak down testers, not ears
Engine idle is set with air gap, adjusted if necessary by air bleeds, not barrel valves
Cam surge/blower surge is for wank factor. Engines don't like it ;D
Never ever grab a throttle shaft by the barrel valve end. It twists the shaft, (return spring is on the other end of the shaft) and alters the barrel valve setting, although in this case that really doesn't matter  ::) and changes the air gap of the throttle plates.

That's just a couple, but the most important issue I see, is where the **** is the blower restraint? No burst panel, running sheer studs and no restraint. It's running an Enderle Alcohol barrel valve which is notorious for lean backfires unlike the K style. So when it coughs under the rotors, the burst panel that's not there to release the pressure will pass that responsibility onto the sheer studs. They'll do exactly what they're designed to do, sheer, and then whoever is skiing behind the boat, or travelling behind in another boat is expected to catch the 150+ lbs super charger and injector. ???

That's some things I see wrong, IMO.

In Brisbane mate, Joel Blake owns it these days.
It spent a few years in Sydney after Joel sold it the first time he owned it then bought it back about 5 years ago. His wife was using it as a daily driver a lot too.
Its pretty cool to think, a car I built back then and sold in 94, is still kicking butt 21 years later.

I guess my chassis strengthening was ok. I tell ya, misbehaving in that car gave a me a bigger smile that dog with two d!cks.

Edz remembers the car from the days we use to street race it for money on the Gold Coast on a Sat night.
We did all right too for a couple of months too, but word soon got around.

Yep, that's it again.

I would expect he's running with no nitrous at those numbers.

The guy on the Harley had his hands full.  :o

Would say so, there's no sticker on the screen. Doesn't look like fun on that bike.

The orange Monaro is a good mate of mine. He cut the firewall and floor out of a Clubsport, then grafted it into the HK, along with the entire interior, LS1, brakes (ABS and all) wipers, AC, everything. All in his shed at home.
Not my thing, but it's an engineering work of art.
