"Hi, I have a question for the boat smarts of the world. I just purchased a 89 Bayliner Capri with a Volvo Penta V8 gas engine, it needs to be replaced due to the block is cracked. I was told by the seller that a chevy 305 or 350 can be installed as a replacement. I did a little research with the casting numbers and did match it up to a 305. Are there only certain years that can interchange?, can a 350 be used instead of the 305?, marine cam to be used?. Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thanks."

I built a complete long block using the book "Rebuild Your Small Block Chev Enginie" or something like that
