if the motor is a 327 just sell it you can get a grand for it if its good... may as well swap whatever carb you put on it for a 2 barrel you don't need a 4 barrel carb its just wasted gas for an extra 5-10hp. and putting in a lightweight honda powerplant will give you more power, without the break ---- torque loads.

Re: New project since NE aint gonna happen
Dad you sound like my dad you dont need a 4bbl on it..lol Well the update it i got the motor out an tore down. All but on piston cam out of it.Its stuck in ther big time. lets just say the only thing i used of it was the valve covers an the timing cover an flywheel an hub for the out drive.Every thing else got replaced.
Was probably a weak 350 at that anyway. The replacement should do good.
350 ci bored .40 over
GM x rods resized with arp rod bolts
Flat top cast pistons cast rings
full hyd roller retrofit cam 272 duration .500 lift
World product 67cc S/R torqurer heads with 2.02 1.6 exhaust (Old turbo 350 heads)
8in balancer
Fully balanced assy
7qt circle track race pan with built in crank scraper an windage tray
94 factory aluminum Q-Jet intake with egr deleted.
Remaned an upgrade q-jet carb
new aluminum crank an water pump pulleys
New starter
Custom ground cam for the boat they speculate 325 to 350hp for my setup im gonna plug the motor specs into the desk top dyno an see what it says it is.
After looking inside the exhaust manifolds i dont see how this engine can expell the exhaust at upper rpms.Damn there heavy also.
Put in a battery that had some juice an cranked it over we got oil pressure lights all work but we need new horns there toast.
Hopefully tommorrow we fire it up an make sure everything works ok.
if so get the fork lift guy over there an get her in the water to try it out.
The pictures dont do it justice.This is an will be a fun boat it is way bigger in real life than (First Mate)Jeff expected.
Hell with the state park get together we now gonna meet on my boat an see how big of a wake we can throw to do some wake boarding.
I get some more pics of it tommorrow for you guys to see the progress.
