Excuse my ignorance - what's the difference between Crusader and PCM?
They're both by Pleasurecraft, and the descriptions of the two models are
identical for the 6.0L.

OK, so here's the dilemma. I yanked out the 68 Ford 427 from my 70

bad
news... cracked block (freeze).

I'm debating... find another block (probably a 428 cause those damn
cobra-heads have driven up the cost of a 427), or repower with something
modern. I talked to Vince @ Discount Inboard Marine, and I'm tempted by
the
Pleasurecraft 6.0L EFI 375 HP, Aluminum Heads, Fresh Water Cooled for
around
$8200. Is it a sin to put a modern powerplant in (somewhat) of a
classic
boat? I can't decide. I'd appreciate your opinion on the matter.

Thanks




I'd go with the modern engine and enjoy the additional complexity and
perhaps better reliability (not necessarily mutually exclusive).

Seriously, go with the modern engine. And check Crusader Marine. I
always thought they offered the best gas engine marine conversions.
