Hi all.
I just got a 62 classic. Can anyone tell me if I can swap out the y block for a 351 and use the same velvet drive? |

Do your homework, you just can't walk in any where and buy 351 marine parts much easier. They have been out of production since the beginning of the century

Cool project
I recently did a complete rebuild of a 312 y-block. Parts are around and available, right down to engine decals. Some special attention to crank rotation/seals, but otherwise very straightforward. And, they run pretty good, too. |

Mike, Where are you getting the idea that Y block parts aren't available? The boat is a classic so I suggest keeping it a classic!

From the year 1962. Lol but hearing that I'm wrong about that is awsome. I'm hoping to get all kinds of info. Like paint codes. I do really want to keep it origional as possible.

That also is good to know. Thank you. I got it in the fall. With just about enough time to get a heavy tarp and cover it be for the snow flew. So I really,haven't had a chance to do any real digging in it. Looking forward to that this spring. I figure its been setting for close to 20 years. First I'm gonna empty the tank and rebuild the carbs and throw in a new waterpump change the oil and points cap rotor plugs wires and new gass and see if I can,make her take a breath. Or two.

Take some time, read up on the many relevant posts here, and make a plan.
Bringing a motor out of long-term cold storage is a bit like delivering a baby. |
