"I've just pulled off the starboard head on my chevy 350 (Volvo penta 570, 4 barrel holley carb) and it needs at least new pistons (big chunk missing from number 3). There also seems to be a fair bit of internal rust (seawater cooled), head gasket was blown, no oil coming up thru push rods and riser needs replacing... although the head looks in OK condition.
If I replace my engine with a fuel injected engine that has a closed water cooling system, what modifications and/or changes would be required?
Is fuel injected the best way to go?
Will it simply bolt on to the existing bellhousing/flywheel? (Volvo Penta 290dp stern leg)
Will I have to put a fuel pump into the tank like a car?
Anything else?
thanks
Lee."
