Well, I recently purchased a 1983 Chris Craft 251 for what I thought was an absolute steal.
It came with a brand new chevy 305 crate engine already sitting in the mounts ready to be plumbed.
The issue is that the new engine is a standard rotation automotive engine with marine hardware installed. From what I have read and learned talking to people I may have bitten off a little more then I care to chew.
My question is, has anyone here changed the rotation on one of these transmissions and how big of a project is it? I cannot find and literature on how to even begin such a project. Would i be better off going a different route and looking for a marine engine to drop in?
