Re: Small Block Cam question
Also he has stock type/aftermarket exhaust thru the hull. He needs to improve on that in the future but... it's his first boat.
Thanks

It's the 330hp vortec crate engine.
Many are running around with this and not having issues. Pretty mild cam.
I don't remember if the crate engine uses stainless headgaskets and brass freeze plugs. I would find out and make necessary changes if needed.

Re: Small Block Cam question
It has brass freeze plugs for sure. Is stainless head gaskets needed for a fresh water only boat?
Thanks for the reply!
