Identifying a V8

[Amurich]

I got two inboard V8s that I am trying to identify and not having much luck. After cleaning and scrubing I could make out the numbers that look like this.

Portside:

14 _ _ 3627
8 9
8


Starboard:

14 _ _ 476 _
6 8 6
8 6 8

The underscores indicate the numbers that I could not read very well and the numbers underneath the underscores are the possibilities of what I can't read could possibly be or what they look like. They go consecutively to the underscoresThe engines I believe to be a V8 small block 305's. Basically I am trying to figure out what they are so I can look up the timing info and time the darn things.

If anyone knows what those are or where I can start looking up the info, I would greatly appreciate the assistance. Thanks!!!

Look here. http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html . Or Just google chevy engine identification. To me it looks like you have 1988-94 305s.

If looking at the engine from the front, can you see the back of the right side of the engine. If so there should be a 5.0L, or a 5.7L. Unless the engine is older than the 80's. Than I'm not sure.

Re: Identifying a V8

You really need to give a lot more information than those numbers. Those will only tell you what block it is.
Some information that would help:
1 Year of boat
2 Make of boat
3 Color of engines (Black=Mercuriser, Gray=OMC, Blue could be Crusader or ChrisCraft)
4 Any decals marking on the engines

Along with any of the above information, PICTURES!
