Transmission Question

Yes it will if it's a Velvet drive and using the correct bellhousing. Everyone is going to tell you to just rebuild the Chrysler though

And it's a Chrysler! Ya gotta keep it!   

pete--all the turbo parts (intake, logs, turbos etc.) were loaded into the backseat/trunk of chris mars car a few summers ago. he somehow got them to joe fennessy who is supposed to be building himself a go fast turboed 440. now that you brought up, it is probably a good time to ask him of the progress!   

In regards to a twin turbo 440 boat – I now have all the parts to create a pretty sweet marauder with a twin turbo 440 chrysler. However those parts are currently spread across three boats and two shops. Unfortunately the timeline for that project has too many variables to calculate at this time. Heck I need to build a new truck engine before I can even get all those parts in the same place at the same time.

Already good advice here to the original poster, yes a 350 will fit with the appropriate motor mounts etc - minimally you would need a complete 350 marine engine to make it economically feasible, ideally one that is reverse rotation so you don't have to switch prop direction, but consider keeping the 318 as it is a pretty good marine package and correct for that boat .

I'd love to see what's going on. TT440 is gonna be one scary beast.

Stick with the 318..... But if you're looking for more power there's a lot of options with the 318 and its relatives from smaller displacements through many enhancements. It would be relatively easy to go with a 340, 360, or even bigger block. Lots of very interesting cylinder head options like W2 family and others too with larger valves and offset rockers. Here's a.

Of course I'm not serous Gary, my brother and I just used to race a 340 Dart swinger bracket racer and am only trying encouraging the bad behavior! There are some pretty hot Chevy and Ford powered 16-17 foot boats on this forum and wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that's not a possibility with the little Chrysler.
