Ford or Chevy?
I am new to your forum,
I have the Magnam Sedan that was used in Huey Lewis & the News "I Got A New Drug' video way back when.
We are starting the restoration planning and I am not sure about keeping the Ford's and changing to 350 Chevy's.
Whats the groups opinion?
Doug

I am new to the forum too. I have a 1971 Magnum 27 Sedan which has been in the family since the late '70's. In the late 80's my father replaced the original Ford H&M engines with Ford Commander 255HP with uprated exhausts at the recomendation of Magnum at that time. I have fully refurbished the boat over the last couple of years and I am currently fitting 325HP Mercruiser 357 Mag Bravo engines coupled with Bravo 3 outdrives and I am fitting Stainless steel manifolds & mufflers from Hi-Tek Marine in Australia. Works should be finished in about 6 weeks so I will be able to tell you then if it was worth it!!
