Here is another example of why drag race guys have problems building marine enignes that live. If your builder does not specialize in marine engines it is best to go somewhere else. So many things are not the same such as cam grind, cooling, tolerances, valve train, fuel system to name a few.

He is just assembling the shortblock from parts that I picked or had from a previous engine built by a marine builder, so cam grinds and such are not a problem. As far as clearances go you can read on the box for raw water cooled engine. The fuel and cooling system are up to me, and thanks to this site should be fine. And from what I have read filling the block is not completely a terrible option. My builder did not recommended the fill, if you read all the post you will see that.
