That`s why I suggested the Bravo drives etc. in my original reply to you. So it gets down to if you are replacing the complete engine pkg. or just the engines. If it is just the engines you will not need the bellhousings etc. as you will use your TRS setup, and have a direct replacement. Good Luck

Scrich, check with JCPerf on this site.
He's located in long island, NY.
Built my engine for my old boat.
There may be others on this site to do it too, maybe for less.
Post in the general forum for what you are looking for.
My guess is you'll be looking at 15K each.
You may also want to try Laz Mesa of Mesa Balancing in south Florida.

Thank's stormrider for your councils........federico

if you are looking for a stock engine drive combo, the 496ho mag + bravo one is a great way to go. the others i've mentioned are custom builders.

Yes, it came from Magnum with the 350cu.in/395 hp Tempest package from MerCruiser, on 32" centers. It supposedly ran 74 mph right from the factory in 1974. Ocean Beach was the dealer. Exhaust headers were a problem, the CMI's would not fit (my father had a set made, and then returned). The 32" centers really limits what will fit with BBC's.

My father raised the outdrives, and had the props blueprinted. It was a great boat (and still is!)
