Engine Choices- Another ?

[GotHalos]

I may know of a chebby powered Hallet Vdrive cruiser that is going to become available out yonder... I will try to check the status and let U know if U wish...

I personally like the 385 series (429/460) fords as a work horse but finding the parts to bolt one in an UNpowerd hull is going to be a challenge and require some fab work by someone... Ask me how I know...

I would look for the HULL you want, in the CONDITION you are looking for, with the UPDATES/hardware you are comfortable with (Vdrive/prop release/strut/shaft/etc....) and then decide based on that rather than just deciding mainly on the engine...

The early ford FEs are great/stout...

Just finding all of the hardware to bolt in a ford OR do a conversion is a challenge... The chebby parts are everywhere apparently, I know that I have a set not in use and I'm not a chebby guy in the least...

Odds are that what you find will be a chebby, and like others have said, thhey are the least expensive so I'm told...

Thank you for the info

I'm really not opposed to that idea either, but then again I haven't come across many engines for sale.

It seems like they're aren't a ton of boats on the market right now?

I would love to have a flattie but the water around St Louis just isnt right for a hull like that... BIGGGGGG lakes or BIGGGGGG rivers with BIGGGGG waves... I already know that my sanger hydro isnt going to work for me and this boating environment...

Engines are easy. Specially Chevys
this is a nice boat for the price without the engine. I would not recommend the engine to any one that isn't an engine guy, although it is a COOL piece as it sits. I personally don't think the engine is worth the difference, but there are those that do.
Hate to tell you what 2MM thinks a Boss 429 in a boat would be worth.

For the price of just the boat, this thing is pretty clean.

That's funny, I sent that link to him by pm earlier, but he told me he has already initiated a contact with the guy.

Still no reply :(

Which leads me to believe he doesn't really want to separate the two, or someone else is first in line. Talk about a bummer.
