Considering a 28SS with 454/330's and TRS's. Seems that this boat may be very stern heavy and most others I've seen or read about have small blocks. Any comments or experience one way or the other?

i own a 28ss 1977 with twin small blocks with aluminum exhaust and still sits very deep in the stern just added external steering, wing plates are heavy should sit a little deeper, cant amagine big blocks even less room to work.

I couldnt imagine trying to work on one with bbc's I have hard enough time with my small blocks..one of the main reasons I am considering moving up soon.

Here is how mine with twin 350's and Alphas sits in the water.

mine with sbc's Borg Warner/TRs......will be for sale in the near future too

They must be staggered.

That Fountain got you beat...sitting low in the water I mean.

yeah thats what 2 and a half feet of integrated platform will do for ya
