I agree, what heads do you have and age on the rotating mass?  BBO are great motors but you can easily over cam them if you don't have the right internals or they are well worn.

For a pretty much stock or very slightly warmed up Olds with log exhaust in ski type boat slinging an A impeller... a Schneider JB3H works pretty good. It will wake the stocker Olds up a bit... but not so big that it's over cammed for the application.

No.  The YJ is its own beast with no interchange parts, unless you install an Energizer kit.  Then you can use Berkeley bowl and accessories.

The YJ pump is good for what it was designed for... moving heavy boats at a moderate rate.  If you are looking for more than 50-55mph you will be looking at some upgrades.
