HI everyone,
I currently have a Volvo AQ 260 and I'm thinking about repowering with a brand new 330 HP vortex crate motor. Would this work? I do know that I would need to change the flywheel Intake manifold possibly the starter circ pump. Not sure about the cam.
What are your thoughts, has anybody done this?

Thanks in Advance
Cheers.

Nobody has ever done it because its not a marine engine, and last time I looked in the GM Performance catalog all the crate engines said "not for marine use", don't know why, as they come with brass plugs and good head gaskets.
