That is an incredible challenge Barrie.:shock: When I first saw your post I must admit I thought this could be another case of an abandoned well intentioned project, but from what I see of your progress my mind has changed. GREAT WORK!!. Keep going, and you will find the people on this site will pro...

Gas (440 Chryslers) or diesel (Cummins)? Nice boat. Teak decks can be an issue, rot, leaks, etc. Values are very low these days.

Fiberglas hull with wood decks referred to as a Searaider model, I believe.

Very cool! I guess I should not be too surprised. My Cadillac CTS V6 pumps out 306 H.P. All the best with your project. jimbo36'

Closed cooling Too. Makes them a bit tighter but great to have.

Hey guys, I think I figured out the pic size. Here are the 440's going in. The beginning of taking out the aft bulkhead for an easier repower. The 440's are 21/2" wider and higher. The Riser spaces are an easy removal.

5.7's 330 H.P. ? I thought 260 H.P. and 330 H.P. for 7.4's?? Have things changed that much??

I tried to post pics from my BB and it says it is too large???

2 months ago? really? No head treatment will last 2 months dude. That tank needs a good pump and flush weekly, particularly in hot weather. Seriously!

I have bought the 440's and have began the process of removing the "good" 400 engine and looking at the 440 install. They are 2" wider so some interior woodwork will be required. I removed the aft bulkhead (lots of glue for sure) in hopes of being able to install both 440's through th...

Thanks all for your input.The reason I ask is, I have a line on 2 matched, complete 440 Marine engines about 5 hours away. The seller owns a diesel shop and repowered his 36' Uniflite with diesel engines that he came across 2 years ago. He says the 440's ran out well without issues. Thought he would...

Has anyone repowered a Trojan tri cabin with Chrysler 440's replacing the original 400's? Engines under the aft berths. And/or experienced removal of the aft bulkhead? Thanks.

Thanks for your input.

Previously I posted the need for a standard rotation 400 CID engine. Turns out I need the starboard counter rotation engine, anyone?

Barrie is 100% correct. Car, truck, boat , crane, generator, motor home all the same parts. IMHO if I were to build a pair of b block mopars I would use factory spec bottom end and a good set of heads. All marine specs. Very dependable and powerful. I have since discovered you guys are right, one 4...
