Lets see if we can start a thread about boats

just like a hemi block and there setting all the records not the bbd or the ford

Did YOU just throw the wedge into the same heap as the hemi???? Honestly???
You have something you can back that foolish statement with?
I have been to a boat race or two in my days, and the wedge is NOT setting records, nor do I think it holds a single record it may have set DECADES ago.
In its hey day, it was a second rate engine to the 427 Ford FE and the RECORDS prove that out as well.

If your talking about ANY gas class, blown or unblown, I think if you bother to look, you are very wrong. No hemis are sitting records anywhere in anything with the possible exception of a super stock class or 2 at the asphalt drags. I think you'll find waaaay more records held by Chevy than Mopar, in ALL motorsports, not just asphalt drags. Its not even a contest.
On fuel, yeah, but don't confuse those engines with ANYTHING Chrysler ever built. Far from it.

But this isn't a pissing match about horsepower now is it? I was merely stating that the block is extremely tall and the pan is pretty deep, and that combined it forces the engine to set very high in the boat. Nothing more.

and yes i was talking about the blown fuel hydros .. yes i know not even close to the same thing but , the outside of the block has the same dimensions as my b/rb i can use some hemi parts bolt right on .. so its closer to a hemi block than any others is all i am saying..
