These would probably suit your needs a little better. Mine are only the 330hp models and will need extensive modifications to make any kind of power. It would suck for you to sepnd all of that time and money and build a 55mph boat and be 2 miles slower than the Crap Shoot.

With what you are going to spend building my engines you can buy brand new 540's turn key that make over 600 for 8999.
To build mine you will need 4 heads at 800-1000 a piece. 2 intakes at 200 each, 2 carbs at 700 each, rockers at 400 a set, Stronger ignitions at 800 a set, New valve covers to cover the taller rockers, new cams at 300 each, lifters, pushrods, etc. and that is if you leave the crankcase alone.
