"The boat - a 1977 26' Rei
"The boat - a 1977 26' Reinell cruiser. The original package was a Merc 228 (small block Chev 305) with matching drive. This motor was pooched beyong repair so it got tossed. Now to replace it, I was told that I could probably go to a 350 cu.in. seeing as it's the same small block configuration, just more hp.
So... will the existing 228 Merc drive be able to handle this extra horsepower?
Please and thank you."
