Where are you located? *I have a 74 model V20 that I picked for the sliding hatch. *It had the straight 6 cylinder motor with the mercruiser outdrive. *The outdrive is still there but the motor is missing. *I have a spare motor and outdrive sitting in the barn. *The spare outdrive was rebuilt and probably has less than 50 hrs. *I am never going to use these and if you are interested maybe we could work out some sort of swap. *Look in the general section and you will see some of the pics. *The floor was partially cut out and never repaired. I am located in Palacios, Texas.

if you feel like you have to play with efi, pick up a 2.4 bridgeport or a 2.5 performance motor, there are lots of stuff on them you can play with. Just bolt it on the back, fix the 175 power head back stock and use it as a backup power head

I, for one, would love to see you do it. It would be unique for sure. Again though, your engine choice, I understand what you are saying by having the parts laying about, but there is a point of diminished returns on this hull. In other words, 400 hp would be way overkill for it, and the only thing you will likely get by pushing that much hp is a squirlly boat. Hell, if ya lived closer, I'd help ya out, and I'm a Ford guy ;) Go fer it.
