Still curious about those truck headers, post a pic?
Schoenfeld Sprint car headers work pretty well for 'off the shelf' headers. ,(Down side up).

So, just to get this party started....
What do you use the boat for?
What are you looking for as far as performance?
Do you have the funds to be scaring up parts for an LS swap?
Do you have all the crap for a big block?
If you want to get on the water quick and on the cheap, build the mouse with 10:1 compression, proper cam and carburetor and let her buck. You are talking the difference of 10MPH (at the most) between the big block and the mouse and I could build that small block to 350hp for under a grand....JMHO...

Thank you GT
I use this boat as a river/lake boat. We use it to pull tubes and other water toys, usually loaded with 5 adults. but when it’s just me and the wife I’d like to keep up with our big block friends a little better.
With that said. If I did the LS swap it would probably be after this rapidly approaching boating season.
Big block it would probably need rebuild, intake, carb, front motor plate and exhaust( found used exhaust and motor plate for $300 )
Rebuilding this 350 sounds like it would be my best bet. I still eventually would need new exhaust but I can run the truck headers the previous owner put on it for now.
Any recommendations on what cam, intake, and carb to use?

I’m kind of stuck on this decision. My jet boat has a tired 4bolt main 350 in it. (Burns 2 qts of oil per 15ish gallons of fuel). I can’t decide rebuild the 350? Build a 383 stroker, LS swap it (I happen to have a truck 5.3 with an aluminum block) or trade the LS for a big block...
My boat is a 78. Challenger with a dominator pump.
Any input, advice, opinions, are appreciated thanks in advance!

Looks good! I have a 78 challenger I need to do the subfloor and seats before this next season. But it may just wait another season.

« on: August 05, 2017, 12:43:51 PM »Yeah I'm going bend some brake lines this weekend and weld them in the primary tubes.this boat is turning into the ultament rig job. How far are your headers from the sides of your hull?I'm not sure but I'd guess 12-15 inches I can stand between them and the side

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / O/T header tips
« on: August 04, 2017, 05:05:56 PM »
I'm new to the boating thing but I why not drill and weld fittings into the primary tubes? Make them wet headers. Then run some sort valve to shut the water off at an idle so you don't get water in the motor. That's what I was thinking about doing on my boat idk if it would work. My boat also has a sbc with dry headers
