    Multiple 260s, 270s, and 280s

    So my buddy runs the parts department for a boat company that restores mostly old woodys and classic fiberglass. He said that they are going to be selling off a bunch of 260s, 270s and 280s that were attached to classic Donzi's. As well as a ton of components.

    Terribly stoopid question

    So I will fill in some more info on the situation. We have always known that one is reverse and one is standard. The reverse has a timing gear and the standard has a chain. The reverse has a front seal that pushes the oil in and not out. I just simply forgot where they went in the boat now...

    Terribly stoopid question

    Sportsman 28 HIN

    I know this is going to be a tough one to answer, but was hoping for some ideas on where to find my HIN I purchased a 64-68 Sportsman 28. The boat has been re-stamped and the title says 1982 because thats the year of the engines after repower. I have had a few different classic models...

    7.4 Exhaust Manifolds help please

    Hi all. Having to squeeze a pair of 454s into an engine bay. The manifolds on them were PCM cast irons and they were totally shot when removed. They since do not make those manifolds anymore. I am looking for 2 sets of narrow manifolds that fit BBCs. Does anyone know of a company that makes...

    454 Piston problem

    What about replacing the wrist pin with one that is a little heavier to get closer to the other piston weights?
