I just got a steal of a deal on a boat with a 350 in it, but it had issues. The boat was not winterized. I knew it had a cracked block and manifolds, but apon further inspection I also found out it had visible cracks in the heads. I have a set of manifolds and heads off a marine 305 parts motor. The block was cracked in the same exact spot it was JB Welded by the previous owner. The oil looked nearly new, but will not run as is to check further.
I really don't want to spend the time swapping the heads/manifolds if i am going to get water in the oil and have to pull the whole engine later. Do you guys recommend I just throw in a new engine, or swap heads/manifolds/JB weld again and see what happens? I am very time and money limited.
