I have a 454 in my jet boat that threw a valve yesterday and demolished the piston and scoured the cylinder. It's a Gen 4 BBC that is stock from what I can tell. It also has an Edelbrock tunnel ram.
I'm starting to look for alternatives to replacing the engine including 454/496 short and long blocks or complete engines.
Does anyone have any thoughts or engine options? I'm not in a huge rush on this but would like to keep moving forward with it at a reasonable pace.
Thanks,
Bill
