pleasure craft and commander differences?

I have an 81 nautique with a pleasure craft 351w, I'm rebuilding the motor and found a 79 commander 351w engine, is there any differences that I wouldn't be able to rob some parts from the commander?

I found another 351w out of a vehicle (I'm assuming) on craigslist, Is there any difference between the heads, valves, pistons, etc. that I wouldn't be able to put in my current boat motor, I know the cam and distributor, and water pump are for RH in my motor. I guess so my question is, since my motor is out, is it easier to put a standard LH vehicle 351w in my boat and change transmission and prop, or easier to rob parts like the heads off and add to my current motor. My current engine is completely dissembled, crank is getting turned at a machine shop at the moment if that tells how far its tore down.

I agree. Rebuild your old engine.

If you are intending to get an automotive rotation engine to use non-rotating parts on your RH, you have to watch the year of the block if you intend to use it. Ford changed from a 2-piece rear main seal to a 1-piece in about 1984, I think. I'm not 100% sure that the cranks are interchangeable between the two block types. There is also a difference in the pushrod lengths between engines with cast rocker arms versus those with stamped rocker arms.

Last I knew was that you still can buy a remanufactured RH engine from Jasper Engines. During my last few years at Southeast CC, we found it cheaper to go that way than to rebuild one. They want your old engine for a core, otherwise you pay a core charge. We had no issues with their remans. You will need to buy new exhaust manifolds, etc. and you will use your old intake.

I think you're absolutely right. I agree with you.
