Nice!
That old boat needs an LS anyways......that should soothe the haters.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt. -
I've seen a few marine 427 adventures like that - chances are the rest of the boat was so rotten it wasn't worth much.
Very cool.There's always something new to learn.Comment

I didn't notice, were they both normal rotation or was one reverse?Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

One was reverse,according to the owner of the boat..i read the comments under the vid..7 monts ago,he wanted 3500$ each for the engines.I guess the reverse rotation 427,needs another crank assembly..if to be used in a car-truck.Originally posted by BBR View PostComment

In a ChrisCraft one just about HAD to be reverse. Boat go in big circles otherwise.Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.Comment

A lot of those marine 427s look like side oilers because they have an external ridge running down the left side skirt but it's not drilled. It's just a regular center oiler.TomOverdrive is overrated

Why are they marked "390" on the valve covers?

Take a little closer look Dan......think it says '300 hp' then 427Originally posted by DanStokes View Post
Seems like a little low for a 427..........which maybe is what a marine motor was rated back thenThom

I ran into a big big nitemare over this. The boss picked out all the parts to do Jesel rocker arms and oil thru the push rods on a 427 that was a former "marine" engine. (rather than rocker shafts that oil thru the head)We put it on the dyno + primed--no oil to the top end. Finally figured out there was a brass plug blocking off the passage that connected the main oil passage to the cam. With a bunch of work, We got the plug out. But somehow-even though I was just doing the final assembly--this became MY fault that plug (factory installed in 1965) was in there!Originally posted by Huskinhano View Post

Also-the only thing you have to worry with a reverse rotation crank is the sipes for the rear seal are the wrong direction. They can be polished off + run a rubber seal.Comment
