Of course you could also find a good running take out. I would do one of these options before buying a reman from some online site, they never seem to work out. |
Found the smoking gun. Rigged up water hose and pressure guage and added 10psi and the exhust valve on 1 is closed. It's on compression stroke ). Water leaks outta the head in the port around the guide boss. Leaning towards a new long lock from center state engine, they have a distrution warehouse in Ocala and I can get long block for just under 3k. I may by a close to drop in with dist, intake and carb that's $3900. I worry my 1600 hrs intake may be thin.

When you're ready...I have a pair of like new CI SBC square bore 4 barrel intakes. These are the rare "Bow Tie" High Rise manifolds that are the CI equal to the old LT-1 350 horse 327 motors. If you pay for the ride or find a reason to be in Ft. Lauderdale...let me know...I'll let you have one for $0.
Those are worth good $$$ in good condition as marine isn't the only use they are sought out for. |
Wow, that is beyond awesome, thank you so very much. Unfortantly the way the boat is setup I don't think I have clearance for a high rise manifold, I have like 1/2 inch above currently flame arrestor,
