Mark IV 330hp
#1
The engine came out and was replaced with a 502.
It's all apart.
Inside is very clean, was a fresh water boat.
std. bore, and it can go back together that way.
Should I freshen it up with bearings,rings, oil pump, and timing chain and sell it???
Or should I sell the block to someone in need. (OSOer) only.
It's complete, carb to pan.
peanut port heads, Q-jet

Keep it till spring and sell it to some cruiser guy who forgot to winterize properly and cracked his block in the lifter gallery. You'll probably get more for it that way.
Why'd you take it apart? Now you gotta spend money and time to be able to sell it.
It's just not desirable from any performance standpoint.
(is it a 4 bolt or 2 bolt by the way?)

it's a 4-bolt
I was going to build it, but weighing out the cost of a forged bottom end and a good set of heads plus machine work, at $4300 for a brand new GM 502HO marine engine, how could I go wrong?

Don't sell it on OSO. It's worthless to proably 90 percent of the members. Sell it on a drag racing site or a off road site. There they don't care that it has crummy heads or 2 bolt mains.
