Didn't Crusader build 454s? Are they still around? You can probably get any
parts you need, but not sure how comparable the auto engine is to the marine
version in terms of casting locations for mounting lugs, etc.

Good luck!

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.
