Hot2boat... I think you misunderstood my post ... what I was asking was, when ,I get this motor together I am estimating 425-460 hp if I have to turn it 5400 rpm will that be too much for the A ?... however I am not even sure the motor will turn 5400 right now as it is still in parts & I have no previous experiences with a ford engine & the boat has not been in the water for 5 years so I was looking for some educated guesses as to what I will get & how hard the engine will turn & if the A is still the right choice??
