"OK, I've got a Chevy 350
"OK, I've got a Chevy 350 block sitting on my kitchen table, wife loves that, and heads, I'm getting a crank and cam out of a 84 mercruiser 260. A machine shop is going to check everything out, make sure the bore is right on the refreshed block and decide what pistons to get. I'll put the 260 intake manifold on and I have a set of cast center riser exhaust manifolds to put on. It's going in a 81 boat and I have the 84 transom shield and plate and y pipe, coupler, flywheel. I also have the thunderbolt ignition wich I was wondering if I should use that or the points system that is in the 81 mercruiser wich is also a 260? Also is there any thing else I should be wanting to get to build a good engine, IE certain lifters, rockers, rods exc exc. Look forward to all the advise."
