I know many people who have issues come spring after their motors sat all winter and they have to replace the $700 vst fuel pump. I just was trying to help others that had pump problems save the big $ if they want to try to get their pumps back going vs replacing them.
The 2.5 runs great and I found a second motor as well. The plan is to pull them apart and hop them up a bit. I want to do a 7 pedal front end, high compression heads, some porting in the exhaust chest, porting in the intake, rod slots, lighten the fly wheel, bump the ports up to promax specs, maybe a svs system and a few other special things. I already got burcato acu's so I can adjust the fuel curve and set a higher rev limit. Hope to get 500+ hp out of the pair.

FF - From what I've read if you stay under 7000rpm then you are better off with the 4 petal front. I just sold a 7 petal 2.5L front 1/2 last week on ebay. I'll keep my eyes out for another one. 2.5L 7 petal fronts are tough to find cause they were only on the 1991/2 2.5 with the bottom guided rods, a 240 sportjet, promax, or racing stuff. Can't wait to see the end result . . . that boat will fly. Thanks for the info on the hi pressure pump. You might want to pull the head on the 110psi side and just take a look. Worst you'll lose is a few bucks for a new head gasket.
