Does anyone know the weight of

Does anyone know the weight of a 470 motor? I'm trying to figure out how much weight difference there is gonna be between the 470 and the chevy v-8.
 
you'll add around 200 to 3

you'll add around 200 to 300 pounds going to a V8.

Get two 150 lb or so people to stand on the doghouse or rear seats and you'll see how the hull will sit in the water with the extra weight
 
I don't know how much a 47

I don't know how much a 470 weighs but I'm guessing the head weighs as much as the block!

Also keep in mind you will have to change ratios and prop size at the outdrive. And also adding a whole new exhaust system going from single to duo into Y. This has been asked before many times and it is an expense and a lot of work.
 
"Ayuh,...

Using the 4.3l V6


"Ayuh,...

Using the 4.3l V6, though Still a pain to transplant, atleast uses the same outdrive Ratio....
And,...
It'll only add about 1/2 of the added weight of the V8...."
