Thanks, Laz.
Boat is a 2002 model. Motor would be '01 or '02.

Used motor okay, as long as it has good leakdown numbers. I don't really care if it's an exact year match as long as I can swap everything over with a reasonable amount of fuss. 1800runsnew has brand new longblocks for $1900 (pre Vortec 91-96 for $1650).
I'm honestly looking to spend about half of that. Plenty of low mileage donors on Ebay and local classifieds. Might have to jump thru a hoop or two to get the mechanical fuel pump setup figured out, but no biggie..

I wasn't saying it because of the year match issue but because the newer blocks have balance shaft above the cam and the old ones don't I have the blocks that don't have the balance shaft and can put you a short block together fairly inexpensive around $750 balanced and ready to go. One way you can tell them apart if it's not apart now is by the timing cover if it has a regular small block cover it doesn't have a balance shaft and if teh cover looks like the one below it does

Thanks for the quick replies, guys.
Excellent offers.

Just found out the boat in need of repairs was sold out from under us. Our deposit is coming back in the mail...

Shipping Damage.....was it sent air freight and got there before the plane did? That didn't happen by the UPS man dropping it on the counter.

I think UPS used it as a wheel chock and drove over it. :drink:
