Thanks KULTULZ,
It’s not just the overall cost, but everything that has to be added on....like heat exchangers, water circulating pumps, the cam for the counter rotating engine, a backwards starter and on and on to make the boat reliable. I found a pair of 454's with transmissions and all marine gear for a reasonable amount. That is the only reason I am parting with the MELs. Years ago I took a 312 out of an old boat and put it in a 1954 F100, it was a beautiful thing...I know a marine engine built by Chris Craft would be wonderful for a classic car or Hot Rod.
