350 chevy with camel back heads 375 hp

Yep, hows 375hp, with a ton of torque, Hyd cam so idles 750rpm makes all its power between 2000-5000 rpm, so you do the math. Moves a big boat on pump gas and 100hp over stock so it works alot less.
 
Great Price for the motor.. Anyone that's intrested needs to consider investing in a good carb,intake and high flow exhaust manifolds or headers. It would be a shame to put everything togather and choke it up with stock stuff
 
cor124.. This would likely be a good motor for your boat. The only concern would be is if your drive will hold the power. What year is your boat and what drive do you have. If its a late model Alpha you'll proably be ok, if its an older 260 or going way back to a 230 you might be in trouble. I have 400+ and broke my drive, first the upper (to the tune of $2000.00) then distroyed the lower on an old 230. I changed over to an Alpha with Merc racing gears and its bullet proof.
 
Hey, It's only water your pushing, keep it under 5200 the out drive will be fine, just prop it right, the outdrive will live ,the top end will be able to handle a bigger prop and you go faster, out of the hole will be covered with the torque and larer boats you'll get slip any way, the prop is most important thing.
