Will the crane 741 work with stainless marine exhaust? Does have long tails.

There have been a few engine builds here using the 741 with Stainless Marine's. One even had the RHS/Protopline heads, which is now the EQ heads.

I'll see if I can dig up the rest of the info...meaning, a link.

You lost me at "cheap as possible". Lol. However I do understand. Heads and 741 cam would wake it up pretty good. Other heads to look at that if you go that route also is profiler 320cc. They flow excellent out of the box with minimal clean up.

Trust me when i say nothing has been cheap on this project

My problem is i told my wife it was gonna be a simple refresh.....lol

Now its twice the estimated budget and every dollar spent from here on out is comming from a kitchen remodel budget that i have been promising for over a year

Im just trying to avoid her cutting me while im sleeping!

Rule number one. Don't use credit card. Rule number two. Sleep with one eye open. Most women have no clue or understand what we have to do and in many cases want to do when it comes to this hobby. At least at this point you still have both your wife and your boat. I've had a couple that made me choose. Lol... Something about high octane and gunpowder that puts a big azz smile on my face.

Actually, some pretty good advice there. I had to re-employ the stash method of paying for boat related. I was just running into too many retaliatory purchases by my wife!

Any thoughts on a set of heads that wont break the bank?

Its no joke when someone tells you what what ever budget is to double it!

I really recommend you call the guru BM before doing anything, right Tim? LMAO

HAHA I just went thru this with my wife, she thought I said 800 last fall and what I really said was 8000. We atleast have separate accounts so that makes it some what easy.
