Hi, I need some help identifying some chrysler marine big blocks. They are out of a chris craft roamer boat and are hemi's. I am trying to identify HP, year, and displacement. The sn of the stbd is 6978, model 45R0304. The sn of the port is 6977, model 45L0304. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Oh, almost forgot. Does any one know what kind of transmissions these would be? Can't find any markings on them.

I found some of these on Youtube a while back. I do not have any details other than what I read from these descriptions. From the info in the Youtube descriptions most were 331's.

The second one looks a lot like your carb setup though, and is a 392.

The first one shows the transmissions you have I think.

Not a 392. Chrysler never built a marine 392.

If you need parts #s or tech info I have the factory shop and parts manual.

Chrysler made 331, 346, and 353 Hemis for Marine use they all were pretty much identical. The 382 was never used for Marine used by the factory but many were converted over. The 392 could use some of the parts such as valve covers from the other three.
