First thing I'd replace is the Century boat bottom if you haven't already. Pushing a single plank batten seam bottom through the chop with a big V8 bouncing on it can peel a plank in a heartbeat. Highly recommend a West epoxy laminated bottom before pushing the power envelope.... |

The 350 should have the same bell housing and motor supports. The new block may not have fuel pump holes drilled, fuel injection would not need the pump. |
