Okay after much consideration and feed back from this thread I have made my decision. I am going with a naturally aspirated set up from Bob at Marine Kinetics (aka rmbuilder). A set of oval port AFR cnc'd heads custome ground cams and lifters and new carbs. We are shooting for around 625hp. My new question is what should I expect to pay to remove and replace the engines. I am wondering the true cost of pulling them out and rerigging later? Maybe I will just disconnect everyhting and have them pull the motors????

The local marina to us charges 10 hours each engine. Having done it once myself, I think that is VERY excessive for "professionals". I spent about 500 bucks at harbor freight for a gantry crane, trolley and chain hoist and did it in my front yard....

I tie my engine hatch up with a couple ropes to a beam behind the boat and the chainfall beam give the hatch about a 20 degree lean back so i can just pull it. Then I back my truck up and let the hatch close and pull the whole rig forward and drop the engine easy as taking a wiz.
