Thread: Counter Rotation Vortec cam question (boat)

Tweet

Erson retuned my call and spoke at legnth about the issue of marine guys locking down the RR Vortec cores. If I can find a RR hydro vortec core he'd be glad to grind one. He also spoke of the options of going thru a company like LSM for custom work, but that would be around $600 +/- ... He also confirmed that if I find one, then low $400's is a good price on one of these vortec hydro RR cams.

Very nice to speak to ONE knowledgable and helpful cam guy after 2 hrs of leg work and dead ends.



Itoldyouso,
I did the prostate exam last year ~ It is RR (See my hot rod upper rt of my post) Dixie 299 Inboard Ski boat 350 cid / Velvet drive
I swapped the RR cam in to a $300 Suburban engine to prove the boat out. Now with 25+ hrs it runs ok but burns oil at 1 qt pr 4 hrs. I've got a 72K truck Vortec under the bench collecting dust (200psi on 6 cyls and 2 are low). Silly cooling quick connect leaked and it ran hot on previous owner.





I can flip my 71c trans and replace my prop to run standard rotation but that is blasphmy in the ski boat world.
