These days the chevy v6 is popular in boats of that size. Trouble is I
think ford has a bigger presence in the uk than gm. You didn't say who
marinized the ford you have now? Volvo or Merc? Best bet would be to stick
to the same one. The chevy engines are used by both these days. Fords are
almost never found in new marinized gas applications anymore.

I have a Bayliner Capri 1950 built in 1989 with a Ford 351 Wndsor 5.8
ltr V8 250hp in it

My questions are as follows

1. Where in the UK can i get spares for it? ie Oil, Air, Fuel filters,
Spark plugs
2. Where in Scotland can i get it serviced?
3. If i was to change the engine what would be a good alternative to
fit in it?
( Volvo,Mercruiser etc ) I don't need anything super fast as i use it
mainly for sea fishing with the wife and kids and fuel is expensive in
the uk

Thanks
