Dont forget the 460cid. I had three of these in my 32' Baja, darn

good

engines.


I'm pretty sure that the 460 was bred from the 429 block, not the 427.


Yup... the Lima / 385 engine...

They were more popular in the California-Style jet boats than other

reason... the 454 Chebbies almost always outran the Olds and Ford...
