Re: How much horse power do I have

OK, is it a 5.0 or a 5.7, any serial#s? Again a 5.0 is a sbc gm 305 and a 5.7 is a smc gm 350. You said in your 1st thread it was a 5 litre and in the 2nd thread a 350? two different animals. I see from the other thread it's a 1988.

My first thread mentions nothing about a 5 litre, Its a 350 chev with a 4 barrel I have no serial numbers either

The boat is a 1988 bayliner capri 2250

Over here "down under" in Australia they are pedantic about the right figures, if you dont get it right the first time they send you away and you have to book in again and that can take another 2 weeks but I will go with the 250 hp and see what happnes.

Thanks heaps guys
