because the LS motors were used exclusively automotive after 2003 and now the LT motors are coming in
the SBC hasnt been used automotive wise since. however the industrial motors (generators, trash pumps, fork lifts and boat motors) were used after.
on the LS and the LT the reluctor ring is a...
remember, your drive is limited to 5500 RPM or less. Circle track motors spin to 11k. the XM270 is a small cam compared to what is normally in a circle track motor. it has almost no overlap and runs out of breath at 5300 RPM
just tell the machine shop you want to run more than .42" lift. they will take it from there.

I simply googled 1996 chevrolet 350 crankshaft reluctor ring
welcome aboard.
just wire it like the picture. slave solenoid goes to the S terminal on the starter
coil gets wired to the I/R terminal on the starter in parallel with the resistor wire.
Cg of motor is about 4" above the crank without the exhaust manifolds and about 5" above the crank with the manifolds
Agree with Grub on lubing the main pivot
I would pull the cup holder and then use either a mirror or a bore scope and look. You may find room to add storage, or you may find that the area has structure, or flotation foam or something else
You are a bit optimistic on your HP out of a stock stroke 4.03 bore motor with a marine cam.
You will be about 35-40hp more with the XM270 cam over the original cam
I would build a stroker
Regarding the prop, you will need to test first
Start at the battery...... Pull apart and clean every connection from the battery to the key switch with 150 grit or a wire brush, then seal the connections with marine electrical varnish.
Stock vortec heads have a maximum lift of .42 to .45 befor the spring keeper interferes with the seal. The fix is normally to cut the valve stem down and change to better seals.
The 1.6:1 rocker arm pushes the stock valve keeper into the seal
Regarding your question on the reluctor...
if your aim is for a boat with not too much TLC, you need to buy a boat that is between brand new and 5 years old.
not be looking at 37-38 year old bayliners with rotten transom/stringers/deck
the real reason the transom cracked it the wood on that boat started to rot out in about 1990 and was...
not sure why you would ever want to buy anything that has OMC in it. many parts are NLA
the 92 Sea Ray needs to be seriously looked at. the motor and drive most likely came out because the hull is rotten
with a bit of work, you can put a complete Mercruiser longtail in the location that...
600 grit, followed by 800 grit, followed by aquabuff 1000, followed by aquabuff 2000 followed by 3M finessit
if you are still north of Bradenton, Fiberglass Coatings in St Pete has Aquabuff on the shelf.
