Please, help me build new engines.
I have a 1973 33' Cary twin inboard. I now have 1987 454 MIE 340 HP but the 2-bolt blocks are trash.
I'm thinking about this:
GM block casting number 10237297 (L29 on Mortec)
GM Cylinder Head 12560241 (Vortec 7400 100CC on Mortec)
Scat Crank Part Number 9-10454L (cast)
Connecting Rod Number 3-10212764 (cast)
I plan on using the existing front accessories and brackets.
I will also use the fairly new rear mount freshwater cooling.
I don't know about the flywheel or bellhousing.
The Thunderbolt IV is new and I plan on using it.
The current carb is listed by MC as for a "454 MAG"
The standard exhaust is fairly new.
I plan on getting some type of HiPo intake.
I would like to make as close to 400HP at the prop as possible.
Also, one of these will be counter-rotating so that I don't have to spend anpther 12,000 for trans and engine bed re-rig.
So, what piston? ( I want to run 87 Octane) What cam?
Also, will a 502 Mag MPI VST or Cool Fuel like the ones on Ebay fit on this?
Thanks for your thoughts.

This setup is on Ebay for $1300.

That souns a lot better than a crate for 5000.
