Yea you can’t use an auto engine. The pistons are wrong, bottom end is wrong, no stainless head gaskets etc. a marine rebuilt long block isn’t very pricey with the commonality if the 5.7 350, great motor. It tops out at 42ish right now with the V6. It may or may not happen. A lot of work that unless I have extra cash and time isn’t needed. If I really wanted it to move I could Marinize my 5.4 3V LOL, that would smoke a small block Chevy with the extra 50 ponies and VCT....all on 87 octane vs high test gas. Interesting to see how engines evolve.
