Thanks guys. This boat is out of the water getting the wood bottom coated in epoxy. There are 2 of those and I thought they might be S.O.'s. The one in the pictures is a reverse rotation. They are most likely coming out this spring. They have always been cooled with
antifreeze and fresh water. I don't know how many hours are on them but I do know the max rpm for these (limited by giant 24" propellers) was 3800. I want to pull them out because:
1) they would sell for more than a rebuild 4-bolt 454 with the same hp.
2) The rat motor is easier to get marine parts for.
3) 427 SO's belong in a Cobra, not a Trojan
When I pull them and try to sell them, should I have a shop disassemble and vat them and verify no cracks & bore sizes?
I assume those are the low riser heads as this thing was only rated for 300 hp from inteceptor. Any ideas?
Also bdriver how could a 1968 engine be in an 1967 boat? There is 1967 stamped all over the boat.
