87 was the year they called 330's magnums. They were hooked to alphas cuz TRS was done and bravo wasn't out yet. They had the power to blow an alpha's brains out, so maybe by that definition they were magnums...

it was available to buy. It was no longer installed in new boats. I have seen some confusion where some 330's come up as mags on some websites. Take a magnet to the intake manifold. If it sticks it is a 330.
