Well think I might be going with a 454 now. Got a buddy with one that is out of a vehicle. Could use a little advice on what I am going to need to get it into the boat and whatever else I might need.

What size is your boat? And what size cover did you get? I see they have 3 sizes to choose from.

Haha it's all good. That's a little bit out of my budget. I think we will try our luck with the 455 unless I find something else for a good price that I can afford. I have a lead on a running 455 that I can afford so we will see what happens.

Nice project, I don't know how set you are on keeping the 455. There are a couple of running 460's for sale right now. Nothing against a 455, they can just be hard to keep running right if you don't really know what you are doing. And they tend to need a little more time and practice to get right. A ford or chevy are little easier, so my understanding is...
Just my $0.02

Thanks for the input yeah that's what I have been hearing about these motors. I am not set in keeping it but budget is the problem don't have a lot to spend and really would like to get it on the water this season. How much are these 460s going for?

My buddy wanted to get me into jet boats and got me started on this project. It's a 18ft California with 455 olds and jacuzzi jet. Don't know much about these boats but am learning as I go and have good friends helping. Boat sat since 09 and motor is stuck looks like head gasket failure on cylinder number 7. Upholstery is brand new and still wrapped never installed just mocked it up to see how it would look. Got a killer deal on the boat and everything.
