What about this

Then exhaust, water crossover pipe, prop, drive shower, and I think that will hold me over from may till june, then what would I do to it first?
How quick do you think I could go on 325HP with a 1.84 or a 1.5 Alpha??

325 HP should put you in the 60's with your hull. I just got a Hot Boat Magazine and the Land & Sea Stern Jack is on sale for like $1450 for the Alpha. That would be a really cool way for you to get some performance out of your boat and you can leave the motor stock for re-sale and reliability purposes. Just another possibilty. The V8 engine replacement just seems like a very large undertaking that will be very costly. Keep us posted on how you are coming with your project!!

...Oil cooler, Powersteering fluid cooler, Ignition system(distributor, box, wires, plugs), throttle linkage, remote oil filter, coupler, a hose from the oil drain plug for oil changes, probably oughtta go with some extra gauges, like water pres, oil temp and fuel pres. 4" exhaust hosing, and a bunch of time to rig this dude. Can't think of anything else, but I know there is more. Not sure how much is inlcuded with the motor package purchase you are looking at. Don't be intimidated, it's fun stuff. Goodluck.
