my 188 is junk, the rattling around valve crown cracked number 2 cyl. by an odd chance I found a 1965 289 HIPO marine engine. its 100 percent brand new, never run. a Crusader built for a Chris Craft, 190 hp with closed cooling and Osco extra tall elbows. you can see the cooling system and the manifolds are on ebay, its a real Shelby hipo, with correct numbers throughout. Mallory Dual point, its awesome. BUT its a CCW. I am going to swap cams and install it... anyone have any ideas?
