Not Ranked
ChrisCraft 300
These engines are about in line with the old Pump FE's used as industrial assy's. They are usually "shift" core blocks, that is to say, they didn't meet the specs to take a good bore because of core shift and bore centerline differences. In a few instances you will find one of them with plugged oil passages and core alignment is dead on, but it's kinda like the lottery. As said the rest of the parts on them are not very good, especially when compared to the early 70-76 390FE, they will be a better COBRA BB.
Chris Craft restoration peoples need to look at this one cause all the original parts are there and in decent condition from the pics.
