Projects / Newbie needing some guidance
« on: June 17, 2008, 07:05:27 PM »
Hey everybody, my name is Eric and I just bought a 77 Taylor jet boat. It doesnt have a motor in it but the guy I bought it from said thats all I need for it. I figured it would be an easy project but the more research I do the more I realize how ignorant I am. I was going to put a 350 in it but I cant find any headers for a small block and I think a big block is the way to go anyway, especially since I already have bb headers. So I found a 454 that came out of an 85 1 ton and am thinking of buying it. I just want to get the boat running for this summer so Im not wanting to get crazy with the motor. I need some guidance from you pros about what I should do and buy to get this boat going asap. Do I need a different cam and what kind should I use. I know I need a water divider, etc. I just need info on just about everything. Thanks so much for your time.
