Engine Options
Cracked block, and need to change it out. I was looking at short block options also. Should be an interesting Poll. The least expensive will be the 1st option and going up from there.
Boat is a '83 Donzi Classic 18'. 350ci engine pushing 350hp. Bravo 1 Drive " higher x-dim than standard
Getting 70@5000. It will do close to 75 if I want to push the rpms.
If I go the short block route, I have heads, intake, carb, cam to match the flow needed. Stringers are HD and have External hydraulic steering.
Yes, I want more speed but want to maintain good handling.

I'd stick with a small block in the 18. I'd go with a 350 mag set up for a blower or maybe the merc scorpion if you have the $$.
