I am trying to see what other people do to the small blocks to get them moving.

Ahh... I see.

here's what I did to mine:

replaced stock intake manifold with Edelbrock RPM.
replaced stock cam with Crane Marine 262 cam.
replaced points with Mallory MBI ignition system and hotter coil.
changed log style exhaust manifolds to center riser.

I already did a 650 holley and nice intake last season,I am looking at vortec heads and possibly a zz4 crate engine cam,If I do that I need either a roller block or do a conversion on mine,I may buy a friends shortblock that is forged and fresh,the cam is the hard part,the vortec heads only handle around .520 lift with no mods,most cams that I lioke are a little m ore,what is the spec on a 262 cam? who makes it?

Crane makes that 262 cam.
Might be a spec chart you can google.
"Crane Extreme Marine."
I don't remember the exact specs but I know that it was mild enough to allow me to use the stock springs.

I've not done a vortec setup.

Sorry I missed this... was working all weekend.

I have the paperwork in a file at home.

It was in my last boat... so it has been a few years.

I did a google just to see if I could recognize it from a list and I realized that it was a Comp Cam.... Not a Crane.

If you are curious I would be happy to check the old boat file.
I'm sure that I have the paperwork still.

I know that it was the version for the basic smallblock with standard rocker arms, standard lifters... stock springs.

It was not an aggressive cam.
To be honest... I don't know that I got a single mph out of it.... but it ran great and everyone who ever heard it loved the idle sound. Just a little lopey... but nothing crazy.

Idled very well... never stalled.

I am interested,I was going to do a roller conversion but I think I will use my stock shortblock,it has ell kept low hrs,I am trying to do this very low budget,I plan on a bigger toy soon and will not bury myself in this one.

OK... in that case you might like this one.

It wasn't very expensive. was a kit.

Here's what the card says:

Small block chevy 265-400
Part number 12-236-3
Grind number CS XM 262H-12

I think that you can trun those numbers into a full spec sheet on their website.
