Or since it's a small block already in there slap in a 383 stroker for 400hp small block power. It will bolt right up.

Can you sell me one for $1,000?

Ha Ha just kidding. But if I change the motor, that will also change my diverters angle! hhmmm, so instead of dropping a grand into new manifolds and risers and then not being able to buy my exhaust diverters, I am now thinking about just replacing the engine. Damn, if I only had $5,000 right now!

Hmm I know of a guy with a boat with a 400 hp small block... oh yeah I sold it to him I think it only cost me about 3.5k to build if I remember correctly.

Hell yes! Actually, I will be just reinstalling the system. The original owner removed the diverters. But now that might have to wait because after removal of my risers, I see I have a few issues to fix first.

Damn you Darkcalling! Now you got me thinking about replacing my whole engine! I mean, I do have to drop $1,000 in her just for risers and manifolds and then however much that backflow preventer costs. Plus I do have a small oil leak somewhere. And I have seen those marine 383's online for $2,900 rebuilt. Guess my Bimini will have to wait.

That's the way!!! I told the wife the it was cheaper for me to build my new one then find new heads got and early frost the one year mid sept. darn it

Told her I would just make the same one I ran in my last '70 Nova... oh did I mention it would lift the front tire on launch lol the boat just rocked too
