I have an inboard 454 that has a cracked block. I am working on the motor for the first time and i am having a problem getting a block for it. Must be a shortage. I have talked with a number of "professionals" and feel more confused than ever. Does anyone have any ideas finding a block or maybe a reputable place to buy a short block? Should i scrap the short block idea and go with a long block? Do i need to be careful with buying a refurbished engine over a remanufactured motor? I also had i guy tell me that i could instal a 330 and would have no problems. Looking for advice!
