I've grown up on the parker strip and now have a place in blythe ;D. anyways my question is i have a 68 miller with a BBF in it with berkley pump. ive had a blown 392 sitting in my garage for about 2 years now, its set up to run on pump gas, nothing to crazy, i want to put in the boat. however i cant find anybody who makes a bell housing and exhaust for this motor wihtout spending huge money :(. anybody out there have any ideas or suggestions for this project. thanks in advance for any input.

i see logs and pto on ebay every week dont remember the price though, would be a cool ride though

Not a mopar guy, but is that 392 the same pattern as a 426 or a 440?
Glenwood has 426/440 motor plates
Ive built my own sbc plates, seen others built ls, bbf, bbo, even pontiac plates
Bassetts headers might be available too
Tom at JBP might know whats available too
where theres a will, theres a way
And welcome to SCJB too

No Daniel, the 354-392 Hemi are a different animal. Not sure anything for the 331 will work either.
See them from time to time on Ebay. You might want to check into a rail mount. I'm sure someone makes front/rear motor plates for that engine you should be able to use with a rail kit. Competition Engineering doesn't list them, but they might know where you can get them.
Might be worth checking these guys out though also. They list marine flywheels.....so should be able to help.

FWIW, MANY 354 and 392's found their way into marine applications. the stuff is out there!

Just talked to a guy last night with a 76 dimarco that's going to slap a blown hemi in it, although its a v drive it will be a bad ass boat after all said and done
