Hi Guys & ladies of course,
I have a 1960 Century resorter 19ft here in the UK, the engine is a short block 5.7 litre chevvy badged as a Daytona 300. I think it is approx 275 h.p and I have the following info off the engine: Daytona D830 3858174 Engine 327GM cast between 1964 - 1967 i believe.
It has a rochester quadrajet carb and runs pretty well even though it still has the old points and condenser (2 sets of points in the distributer) which I had not seen before.
Can anybody tell me anything about this engine good bad or indifferent, I don't know why the engine is not the original as the boat spent most of it's life in Switzerland.
Thanks for any advice
