I am going to be following, getting close to reposer time and it sure seems like LS/LT would be the way to go in the 500-600HP range. Just make 10 posts total, this is your thread just do it here,,,, count down 10,9,
Heck GM builds these base motors and sends to marine power and Kodiak to marinize it the rest of the way.

Now an LT4 or LT5 in that range would work well. Still likely need 93 octane where the BBC would be able to run on 87/89

On the octane for me whatever has to be 90, it's what you can buy on the water. I think those could handle 90, but need to check.

So there is a replacement for displacement?
I love Orings on an LS vs regular gaskets on a BBC.
I used to dyno and have short blocks assembled and machined at Borowskis till Ken went full LS engines and wasn`t interested in BBC/Marine guys anymore.
Wonder how telling guys with 2 of everything to go pound sand worked out for him.
