Just picked up a 1985 boat with a 260hp 350. It Has an aluminum intake, not sure if anything else has been done. What is the difference of this and the 270 hp magnum 350. The thing I want the most is the sound of the 350/270. I am aware that the 10 hp probably will never make a difference. Thanks

the only differance back then was soppose to be the exhaust riers that and mag sticker made the 10 hp differance..back then i had a few friends with the 20 switzer and both of them were side by side 260 and 270 mag..

Gotcha, back in the day I had a 20 foot boat with 260and some friends had 211 liberator with the 270 I was about 8 to 9 mph faster. I had a shallow hull but the mag sounds much better. Looks like I need some risers and a hole saw thanks

What part of il are you in ?

The mag had a steel crank, 260 had cast internals.

i have had them both apart,,same crank's as a fact i have a 350 mag engine on the pallett rack i can show you the crank if you like..

I'm in the west suburbs,,lombard area..

Cast Iron Bowtie intake on the 350 Mag. That's it.

Concur. I had a 95 Mag EFI motor and there was nothing forged in it. Plain old cast crank. 2 bolt mains as well. Worked great but wasn't the legendary forged stuff I had imagined.
