edlebrock

Thanks guys, I wont go spending all my money on a oilpan until I check around this is my forst full resto on a boat, ski n sports in tyler texas is doing all the work, boat is in bad shape and the price is going up high quickly. I think i will try rebuilding or sticking with new stock parts. Any other tips on things to do while this boat is tore down would be great, Im redoing all interior fixing the stringers < they arent bad > having my prop rebalanced new heads new carb new rwp impeller, drippless shaft seal, all fluids filters changed , blowers replaced,electronic ignition, plugs and wires, exhuast manifolds and risers,new rudder, The only exterior work is a new bump rail like on the new nautis and some minor fixes on the gel coat. total is around 10 large right now tell me if that souns way high oh yeah there are a few other minor things too

I do have a wedge, when I got the boat it had a ford 4 barrel aluminum intake with a one inch ugly ass spacer with some vacuum actuator on it that was capped off and it had a wedge that was about an inch or so on the high end. The engine was pretty cobbled together by someone with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, the only parts I saved from the original engine were the, flywheel,raw water pump (he had no working circulation pump), the carb, the wedge, the heads, and one of the two exhaust manifolds (and I had to rebuild the carb, the heads, and the rwp and rebalence the flywheel). After I switched to an edelbrock intake I used the wedge for no other reason than it was there before. Is it needed don't know, but it doesn't seem to hurt.

I concur, you'd have to spin 7300 rpm to use 750 cfm...

I run the edelbrock carb 600cfm, we recently discussed this topic you might want to check a topic called carb help, just type it in the search window, any further questions let me know, I agree that with a stock 351 you probably don't need the 750cfm.

750 seems a tad to big for that motor if its stock. 430 does sound high to me. i had the same trouble when i had to but a timing chain cover for mine. pcm wanted some crazy price like $650+. ordered it for a from indmar for like half of that price. which was still ridiculous!
