Before ls exhaust was more common,  the 351 ferd load and snails were used by redrilling the pattern.
For open headers,  the sbf build it your self headers,  with ls header flanges.
I'm pretty sure schoenfeld headers makes a set of dry open headers.
Tom @JBP has some headers,  just don't know if he has the ls  variety.

Great find

Go with the biggest impeller you can, big girl needs a big wheel.

Make sure there's a gate valve on the incoming water line. Adjust as necessary, 140 while cruising is plenty. (helps keep pressure/ volume in check)

The Jet-O-Vator steers wonky, and virtually impossible to get parts for. Upgrade to a Place Diverter. Standard equipment on Berks from the mid 80's on. Go hydraulic if you can $wing it.
Tom or Josh at JBP would be my first phone call.

 78th annual thanksgiving regatta at the Blue Water Casino
Friday Nov 29th and Saturday Nov 30th

A thanksgiving tradition.

What it sounds like happened, he made a pass, then went over a wakeboard boat wake, made a U-turn, and went over the wake again, and when he lifted, the blower motor stalled while at a pretty good speed, and hooked a bit to the right, and that's the aftermath. There's a video around that shows hitting the dock and the brick wall. Apparently, both occupants had some bumps and bruises, but walked away.

I had a pair like that for the jet skis, on an open trailer. Never had a problem.
I'd even use them for the boat, when gas was too far away, like camping on Lake Mohave.
I didn't think they were tough enough for the Jeep, hanging off the back. I had steel cans for that

Dan'l

I've got nuthin on a tunnel ram.
Leaking intake gasket on the lean side?
Which way are they mounted?
Freight trained or sideways?

Dan'l

That thing sounds super rowdy

Yes, yes it does.

Just finishing up my SBC fishin bote mota, Ill be lucky to have HALF the HP and torques of your mill.

Well done.

Dan'l

I keep it under 235 degrees at .050" on a small block Chevy with logs and snails, with no issues.
Sbf and center riser exhaust I'd imagine? Your numbers look good for that. I'd run it.

GS Marine in Corona does pumps.
Jacuzzi? I don't know.

MPD in Costa Mesa would be my choice.

Or get a kit from Tom at Jet Boat Performance, and do it yourself.
