Re: smallblock power
i ran the 270 cam mentioned above and it performed great. did exactly what you are planing. i went with the 270 cam, edelbrock performer, stick with the Q jet for sure (i tried the holley but switched back) and i also tossed on a set of full roller rockers that i had laying around. woke that small block right up.
i have ran both the Comp Cams 260 and 270. the 270 was much better with just the right amount of lope and great driveability, was fine around the docks. i would go with the air gap performer if you can, it was just coming out when i did mine. also if you can swing it as mentioned above the GM Vortech heads are a great bold on HP gain. i have heard in the area of 30 to 40 HP for them alone. easy on the throttle and your alpha should be fine. right now i have a pair of them behind 300hp smallblocks in a 6K pound boat and for the most part they are fine. cept when i hit that big'ol sunken log

Re: smallblock power
I have a H-268-2 Crane cam in my 350 in my Donzi Minx. Along with that, I put new 2.02 heads (didn't go Vortech for a couple reasons), and EMI exhaust. The engine was originally a 320 horse 350. I'm guessing it's putting out around 340 or so now.
How much does your boat weigh?

Re: smallblock power
Keep it stock, save your money for all the repairs that will be coming up, older boat means lots of work will be needed. Take your wife out. thats something that will last longer than your boat. Take it from someone who owns lots of toys and been married 19 years. Still happy!
