This is the cam kit I purchased http://www.jegs.com/i/Comp-Cams/249/K11-240-4/10002/-1

The motor came with a stock truck flexplate and I bought a flywheel as well. Not sure which one I'm gonna need but I do have both

I'm not sure how deep the pan is. I bought it from a guy that restores jet boats and assured me it fits jet boats... Ill measure it tonight

I have dual saddle tanks that are made out of fiberglass... I hope this doesn't give me an issue for atleast the rest of this season.

The starter came with the boat and alternator did too. I figured I'd test these once its running and replace if needed.

Thanks for all the rad info... It's helping alot to make sure I have everything before I install the motor.

"any oil pan with rear sump "  Truck pans are too tall,  Chevelle pan works though
"alternator with bracket" Usually on the front motor plate
"1310 spicer driveshaft"  He has all of the driveshaft hardware

A GM HEI is hard to beat, with the Vacuum locked out
How fresh is the motor? Might be a good time to refresh and a decent cam and intake too.

Dan'l

yeah there is an alternator still mounted on the front plate. as far as how fresh the motor is i have absolutely no idea. i havent even heard it run.

what cam and intake would you recommend using?

also added a picture of the boat when i was picking it up....

thanks,
chris
