I knew the 318 would draw a little criticism.

Fitting a small block in place of a big block would be an awful lot of work for half the power. That big ass boat needs big ass power!

My friend's Wildcat went good with the 210 hp, 318. Our Barracuda with the same engine was faster our of the hole, but only edged it out at top speed. I bet more Wildcats sold with 318's than any other motor. The big blocks were a great option, but if finding one is going to prevent you from restoring the boat, I wouldn't hesitate to use a 318 if one comes along.

Consider running a BB lefty before going small! Easier to remedy down the road.
If the 'balance' is perfect spinning righty with a driver, then it follows it will be perfect spinning lefty with a passenger. Especially with a hottie with ample, uhm, flotation. Were cc's designed for loners or something? |

Bill, I got your email... but I didnt see a return email address listed in your message, and you have it set to private in your profile.
With a 225hp 318 in that 19', 2650 lb (according to the Wildcat weight called out in the '68 brochure) hull, my best guess for a prop would be an Acme 542. Thats really just a guess though. If you have a Federal 13x13 kicking around or one that you could borrow, it might be good to get some baseline performance numbers with that before spending money on a new wheel. |

Thanks Tim. I did not know that about the email sorry. The 13 x 13 was going to be my first shot but thought I would get a second opinion. Thanks

Well, the engine owner is missing the bellhousing, we are looking one used around but i fear it wont happen. Is there somewhere I could get a price for one (new or used) in the US?
Does the 440 share the BH with any other engine? Do all the Chryslers V8 share the same starter? |

440 shares the same bellhousing bolt pattern with all B/RB/hemi engines, which are the 361, 383, 400, 413, 426, 426hemi, and 440. The starters are all the same, pending rotation.

Thanks for the lead. Distance is a contributing factor to my slow search. I am going with the 318 for now. You still need to stop by and take a look! |

Bill, I need to exhaust my local options first as importing expenses are currently unknown as customs have new stronger policies for most things.
This would be a good policy IF we had local production of these items. Also, I'd not be able to import an used part, I'd need a brand new one or a used one disguised as "new". thanks for looking. |

Bill, my schedule is going to be crazy this month. I'm headed to Austin at the end of this week and will be out of town for a week or more.
Hold on to those pieces for me and I'll be out maybe at the end of the month or soon after. How is the rest of the boat coming? |

For those of you that may be interested.....Art Cozier emailed back today and informed me that he could find hull id numbers on both sides of mine but not a match to the one i have. He also stated that he would continue his search in the hopes of finding something of interest.

Maybe it was a hush-hush prototype?

Got to do a little work this week. Pulled the "full" fuel tank (20 years old), picked out surprisingly dry foam from around the exhaust hoses to the outlets, removed drive shaft, prop, and stuffing box. Not much if any rot in the areas I have touched so far. My "motor repair man" is about at the half way point. After the foam removal job I have a new found respect for all who have done entire boats. What a PITA.

Here is a little info I received from Art Cozier yesterday. What a great resource and person he is!
Bill..... At long last I have the Microfiche viewer at Correct Craft repaired and I have found the records on your boat. The engine was installed on September 5, 1970 and the boat was shipped to Midwest Correct Craft in Angola, IN on September 14. The engine logbook reads "300 Chrysler M440-BWR10-233E0-77396." That if fact would be a 440, but it would not have had any notation about turbos. These same numbers appear on the invoice. I know that the Chrysler serial number system would have interpreted as follows: M440 = Marine 440 cu. in. BW = Borg-Warner transmission R = Right-hand propeller rotation 10 = 1 : 1 ratio transmission 233E0 = I don't know what this means. It could have been a Chrysler designation for turbo. 77396 = Engine serial number The boat was built with a Candy Apple Red hull and deck with a taffy ivory accent stripe. It had a full bench seat, a mirror, and a folding vinyl Bimini top. The invoice also reads "Ozite -- Special order Red," which I assume is either the vinyl on the Bimini top or the vinyl floor covering. I am not familiar with the term Ozite. Marauder # 13367 is the closest hull number I could find to yours, and it was built tow days after yours for Cypress Gardens and had a 290 hp Holman & Moody engine. We didn't always necessarily build boats in strict order of serial number. If I can be of further help, please don't hesitate to contact me. Art |
