Default Repowering Old Boat

OK, so here's the dilemma. I yanked out the 68 Ford 427 from my 70 Century
Resorter last fall. It's now at the rebuild show - and I just heard the 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
