I'm in the middle of repowering my 89 Sea Ray and want some ideas on
getting a replacement engine. The motor I took out has seen sal****er
for over 10 years so it's about ready for the grave, but 454's seem
pretty hard to find locally. I've found plenty on the web, but
shipping is a killer and I'm not sure my core will be worth anything.
Some of my "expert" friends have suggested finding a wrecked GM truck,
but so far the only thing around here is a ton of 350's. Anybody got
a good suggestion? Thanks.
========================================
If you go with a truck engine, you'll have to marinize it:
USCG approved electrical components and flame arrestor
Corrosion protection
Water cooled exhaust manifolds
Oil and transmission coolers
Wet exhaust components
etc.
Why not rebuild your existing engine?
