I have a 330 HP Mark IV small oval port motor that spun a bearing out of my 1989 Formula. Motor is going to the junk yard soon unless someone wants it they can take it away. Still ran but had a rod knock. Motor had 360 hrs on it but block has never been apart. Block still looks good, but was raw water cooled.

Well klmken looks like you are headed to Norwalk, CT And I have also seen Chevy motor run and drive on 7 with the rod hanging out the bottom. But 80% of what you own (motor) is now junk. Rag's

klmken - since your "local", call Cobe Marine (between Annapolis and Baltimore) at 410-255-9488. They had a complete new (rebuild?) 454-330 motor for about $2500, which I think is a pretty good price. Should get you on the water for the season about as cheap as you'll get. Also might give Art Lilly a call, they sometimes have some good used engines from boats they've repowered.
