Reply With QuoteWhat are people getting for the Olds stuff? I have to yank mine again, blew something this AM, probably clamshelled a rod bearing.
I'll be looking for Edelbrock heads, a new crank, some sort of high rise manifold.
i was just kinda kidding when i said through it all away. I actually sold all of my olds stuff , and it helped a lot with the cost of the change . It really isn't too bad doing the swap , I went a little overboard with some things but i do believe the rail kit is the best way to go , i just glassed over the old holes and then laid the rails over it all . the drive line will work for both if you run a pto, you will need a different pto but the drive lines bolt to them all the same . obviously you'll have to move some wiring around and stuff and the pipes are going to carry some good expense , I'm just trying to do one piece at a time . mainly because i can only sneak one or two big purchases a month past the (boat nazzi) my wife lol good luck and i would also like to say that tom @ jet boat performance has always been a big help for parts and knowledge , Ive never actually meet him but Ive probably spent a couple of hours on the phone with him, and he has always bent over backwards to help me, witch I'm sure you know is sometimes a rare thing in this industry any way good luck man and if i can help you with anything please feel free to ask

Thanks Outlaw !
Casey you will need : mounts ,water in and water out hdwr, A pan with max depth of 7 3/4 in, possibly a drive line (depending on your current) (maybe just a PTO) and exaust, general swap parts cost is around $1250.00 to $1500.00 + or- Tom
The only thing I was able to use on my conversion was the Alt. and carb. keep posted and ask questions.
