I have a 1972 penn yann with a 1971 ford 351w in it currently. I am looking to replace it and i have found that the chevy 350 is cheaper and I was curious if they are the same size as far as it mounting and fitting in the boat and what are the differences between the two motors. I also found a OMC STRINGER, COBRA 5.0 L (V8) for sale and i was wondering the same about this motor. I would really appreciate any knowledge on this motors. thanks
