Hello,


My name is Chris. I am good friends with Tony (Aquaholic). I have an 18' 1973 Wriedt Stinger that I got from my ex girlfriend and it has been sitting for quite a while. I don't think it has seen water since 1994. Anyway, I am looking to fix it back up and get her running again. It has a Berkley pump and originally had a 440 in it. I took the 440 out, since I have different plans for that engine, and want to put in a blown and injected 392 Hemi. I pretty good with rebuilding cars, but boats seem to be a different animal. I was hoping I could get some help or input as far as engine mounts, adapter plate and exhaust setup I would need for the 392. I know the 392 is a rare engine and I'm sure boat parts for it are hard to find. However, I'm up for the challenge and have been been pretty successful in finding rare parts as I do for my cars. Any help at all with this project would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics.

Wanting to buy Casale V-drive if anyone has one for sale...........Thanks.

I have a v-drive gearbox that has Hemi stamped into it at the top on both sides. Does anyone know who makes this? I was thinking it might have been made by Chrysler since they had their own marine division at one time. However, I was also thinking that Chrysler may have subcontracted to another company who makes V-drives. I don't see any other names on it though. If anyone could shed some light on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated.
