    A lot of Buicks & Caddys were used in the 60s. Ever seen a set of offshore type manifolds for an outdrive for them. They were "marine" engines.

    Stop the goof ball shit Bruce. Show me you are smarter than this.
    Anyone with half a brain knows that you have to dress out the engine with all of the marine trim and there are TONS of wet exhaust out there for SBF and BBF, prolly even 335 series engines also, aside from some trick water jacketed headers like Uncle Daves Viper engine what would be hard to obtain?

    Took me all of two minutes to find on EBAY, and there is a plethora of marine distributors, starters, alternators for sale... SO lets take all of the marinizing excuses out of the discussion... I can have any dimension of performance jacketed stainless polished headers built for any SBF head that is selected, Blue THunder # BTH-CHCA-CC is a 385 series head with chevy exhaust ports... There are plenty of options out there if someone is interested in doing something other than Chebby power...

    I thought maybe I was missing something with the engine itself that sets it apart from all of the other boats...

    You really believe you make the 550-600HP UD was talking about for his boat with those manifolds. Would you bolt those up a set of AFR, or Kaase P38 heads. Really Bruce, would you. Are you the same guy that was making suggestion for UD's chevy? And you come with bullshit like this?

    Do you ever read anything I type OR do you just look at the pretty pictures? SO it's only the exhaust manifolds that marinize an engine?

    Tell me, since that is all out of the way, what makes an I/O ENGINE so special?

    There never was a fast boat with ford power, it cant be done... Not possible...Can't happen...


    U.D. I understand what your goal is with the third mill, I don't think you will get there with a SB and be happy with the end result versus having the third mill being a big block... The EFI V10 is going to be hard to measure up to with a decent small block and I doubt it would hold up nearly as well in the big boat... In any case I would suggest talking to Gordy at Pfaff...

    I wont get there with a small block unless its a 5-600CI small block. Then its so much money its smarter to just buy a big block.

    In terms of whats in those picts- thats some exceptionally stock crappy stuff that wont flow jack squat.


    Where can find I the ford version of these and what do they cost?
    How long before I place an order to when I get them?

    What will your guy build a set of 2.375 ID tubes for? looks like 10K for the cheb.

    I don't think that " it can't be done" I just think that its a lot harder to do.

    I JUST hung up the phone with David at CMI in Wisconsin, he said that they have done some custom stuff for Jack Roush for SBF/SVO... He stated that for E-tops that would typicall be around 3500 for BBC would end up being about 5k for your one off SBF... There are a variety of dimensions that are needed and there are PLENTY of exhaust port variations out there with the many SBF head options and BBF options... I picked the E-tops just for a point of reference...

    And yes, that is stock replacement or stock iron in the pics (read FUGLY), BUT the point is that there are MANNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYY marinized SBFs out there in service with all of the crapola hanging on them...

    I dont know if I could get you a pretty polished set of big tubes made any cheaper than 5K but I do know they are available one way or another...

    A few stock parts, a few pretty custom billet aluminum brackets, 5K for some big tubes and bada-bing, you have all the required parts to marinize a hot rod SBF...

    What's an extra 1500 in the grand scheme of things, this is hot rod boating after all...

    I still wouldnt try to push a big boat around with a big inch small block of ANY flava...
