Gas prices on the water are ridiculous, I mean at least a dollar over land prices. And it's crap gas. If your running boost or high compression, you dont get your gas on the water. At least not on the Ohio River in Cincinnati. I dont have a trailer and really didnt plan on getting one anytime soon. So I'd like to save on gas as much as I can.

Unless I start getting it on land, putting it in 50 gallon barrels and wheeling to the boat, which seems like a lot of work considering the tank holds 105 gallons. LOL

So really I'd like to stay with a mildly aggressive 454. Plus if I went bigger than that I've have to start worrying about the outdrive. As you know Pat those cost just as much as a motor.

I'll see where the leakdown takes me. I know I got room on the block, if needs re-worked. As for the heads, if good, maybe I can work a Craigslist trade and downgrade.
