496HO is the way to go, but you should buy the 400SS not the 370SS.....

and looky here I just happen to know where there is one for sale!!!!!

I repowered this past summer with 496HO's 425HP and the complete cockpit is at the uphostery shop as we speak getting redone....

I have looked at the 400ss but the newer models are a little to pricey for me:eek:...nothing wrong with the older models mind you...and yours looks like its in good shape:ernaehrung004:Why are you selling?

I have 525's in my 400ss and it runs great. It will run 60 but it doesnt handle the rough like the cig so very rarely do i get to use all the power. But when it is smooth out in the ocean it is fun.

I would have thought that the 400 SS would be a wave crusher.

headers need to be checked every 50-100 hour min. looking into the same motor
