454 shoehorn, Does anyone have the measurements of a 454?
I have a boat that currently has a 4.3 and I am wanting to upgrade to a 454. My bilge area is 4'x3'my concern is that the risers maybe a little close to the sides. I know that a 5.7 was an option if that helps any. Thanks for any help.

ROFL!!!!!
4.3 to 7.4
you sure that isn't gonna sink your boat???
What is it going in? I will try to measure my engine when i move it here. Should be within a few days. Hopefully someone else can measure there quicker.
that thing is gonna fly (whatever it is)!

Thanks, for the measurments, I don't guess you remember the width measurements do you?? I have 34-36 inches in width to work with..
As far as sinking the boat, I'm ashamed to say what it is going in.....a pontoon..there I said it..
It's kinda like the old moped and fat women thing, they are alot of fun to ride til your friends see you on them...In my case my buddy has bought a new boat that runs about 55 and I just want to be able to finish with a close second.. I think everyone can understand my problem.. The logical solution is trade boats.. There seems to be alot of humiliation with barely outrunning a pontoon though. Ha Ha
Thanks for your help,

Second to a 55 mph boat? How much could a pontoon weigh? I think if you are brave enough (fine line between brave and dumb), you will smoke him. You better make sure it is a flat assed calm day on the water!!!
Good luck... I love challenges like that, as long as I don't get killed having fun!
