Good, they are available then. He still would be better off building up his Windsor.

I'm glad someone very nicely informed me that there were FE's that were marinized, and even used by CC.

Granted it is going to hurt the wallet but they are out there, glenwood marine would be a source for new ones.. Reid and Matt over at race city marine are dealers (as maybe others but they are the ones I know for sure) and last I know go2marine.com had some available as well. A few weeks ago Reidp was quoting me an article talking about relatively low dollar FE stroker kits and short blocks so I have had my eyes on a few things lately just in case I was ever to see a 352 powered boat go by..

Good info guys.. When I get ready to buy one, I am looking for a more easy to transform over to another big block ford. Where I dont have to do a complete overhaul on everything. Keep it orginal for the better part, and keep it reliable. Just add more bone stock power, from like a 351 versus a 460.. Add maybe a few things here and there, but making the boat do 70 is not in my ballpark. But if as some of you say, I love the 351 Ford PCM. It is a really good and strong motor. If bumping up is too difficult and ingnorant, I will just stick with what I got.
