Re: What Exhaust For A Small Block
CPPerformance, if I went with the stainless marine exhaust, would it be advisable for me to go with the HP riser to avoid reversion with my motor specs, or would that make it too hard to use the existing under swim platform outlets.

I have a set on my 383 and love them. I couldn't see myself spending close to 3 grand on cmi's, which is the brand I would have choosen.
I'm pushing 465 on the dyno with the stainless marine's attached. I know that I'm losing close to 30 hp not going with headers, but the extra money can go for alot more upgrades down the road.
Just my two cent's

If you have below swim platform exhaust outlets then the long HP riser won't line up for you. You would have to have a custom pipe built to fit properly. Stainless Marine can build it, just cost a few more bucks.

For about $1800 you could get into a set of IMCO PF2000 exhuast.
we have sold and instaled a good number of these and have had
nothing but great results.

Stainless Marine for small blocks can be purchased for under $1700 most anywhere.
Before you decide on any system, I'd recommend you take a measurement between crankshaft centerlines to assure you'll have the room required for your new set up.
Shop smart and happy boating!

Unfortunately, the next size cam in this Crane series jumps all the way to 234/242 deg at .050 which is a little larger than I would want so I may just stick with what I have and get some port work done. Of course these are long term forward looking possibilities, but if I spend 2K on a set of exhaust, I would like to feel comfortable knowing their is room to grow with them.
I would recommend you take a look at this article on the Keith Eickert web site regarding Water Reversion for more information.
