" I have a 32' marinette cabin cruiser. I originally had twin Chrysler 318 engines. I acquired two crusader 350 engines that need rebuild. How much of the bolt on would fit the newer Vortec V6 block. Does the bell housing fit? I saw a post here that said the Vortec was basically a sliced off 305/350 block. Is this true? The original 318's produced 225hp. Would the vortec be a good match? How about longevity of the engine. I'm not a speed boater, I'm a cruiser. Typically running around 2000-3600 rpm. "
