Don't forget the annual drive maintenance, and inspection of alignment, u-joints, gimbal, etc.

Did you pull the drive and inspect the bellows, u-joints and alignment? A leaking bellows will also leak water into the boat. And rust up your u-joints

V6 requires the manifold plug to be removed. The V8 doesn't have a manifold drain

you can do a single piston oversized. however once you find out how much it costs to blind-bore and hone one cylinder or two cylinders. you may as well do the others as the set-up is 90% the cost.

yours is exciting in its own way...... like cruising down the highway and it just quitting.... :D.... just kidding. dont you have an old T-bird as well?
