Thread: what to do with my 350 mercruiser...

Tweet

its straight, im sure there are a few people who need some info on those boat engines. the grind on the boat cam is kinda truck-ish, very flat curve throughout right from the start from the info i got through mercruiser. not peaky and very evened out power. seems to have nice pull, very tough. and it wasnt afraid to rev from what i remember....anyway, i decided to put the 350 on the shelf until i can do a proper rebuild on it bc its just to good to let go or thrash it until it dies (i dont run across too many affordable 350s here), that just might be the engineer in me talking. so, im gonna hook up the 307 (just to be the oddball guy here) with the 350's intake/carb combo (I have a crazy as hell buddy who wants me to put that 307 crank in the 350 to make a revving 327, told him i would do it if he funded it...he shut up right there, darn)
(the combo should fit from what i measured) and i need rework the carb to maximize the 307's flow. anyway...as we all know, the silver lining is most of the parts (and by parts i mean external accessories and maybe those roller tips and headers i bought for the 307) i put into that 307 i can reuse on the mild 350 that is gonna come to life in the future. i really just weighed both my candidates and went for the best one based on my needs...no hard feelings for the "hi-jack" Itoldyouso
