 Have any of you guys swapped a small block for a big block chevy?  I'm interested in problems you may have encountered.  What's the weight difference.  How about dimensions?  Seems to me, the mounting points are the same dimensions, right?  Big blocks are wider and longer by 4-5 inches?  I bought a BBC and planned to build it with my 12 yr old son (and a good machine shop).  My goal, is a blown 6-700 hp BB. The boat I have is a 1988 16ft Tahiti w/sbc and Berk 12je.  I planned on a couple year build, then buy a different hull to put it in. But I was thinking, why couldn't I put it into the Tahiti?  Any suggestions? Certainly, you Cali guys have been there and done that. Any input?
