I've decided to keep my engines that are in my boat and change them up a bit. By that I mean removing the big chief heads and quad setup and changing the pistons, cams,etc...
Just trying to get a ball park figure of what this stuff costs new before I change my classified ad.

I tried to find your add to see what kind of intercooler you have. Usually on the big chief, they use a standard intercooler as well.Do you have the 2.3 or the 3.3 whipples, I can't remember.
As you probably know I bought some new 3.3's this spring, which I love.Have you considered just detuning your set-up for the reliablity your looking for. You should be able to make some great power with a Hydrolic roller cam and mild boost, this would be alot of fun in your boat and be as reliable as the N/A engine. I think your going to find that the market for the whipples is not alot better than trying to sell the whole package, especially if you have the 2.3l version. Just from my experience.

I know that the innercooler is a Whipple product. I'm not 100% percent sure what I'm going to do yet, but something will be done over the winter. I do have someone interested in my heads, maybe your idea of changing them over to a Chevy-style head will be a winner! Can the pullies be changed on a Whipple to lower the boost?

They extra HP, over a N/A, would be alot fun also.
