Oh Boy! Just had a great deal fall in my lap. I'm going to pick up 2 1971 454's from a coworker this weekend that inherited them from his father in law that passed away. They were in his boat and each only had about 1500 hours on them before he pulled them and dropped in 2 built crate motors...

From what I'm hearing from him, they have forged cranks and were tweaked up in hp a little when he bought the boat. May be selling the other motor and the vortec motor that's currently in it to offset this new winter project!

If I remember correctly dual inboard boat V8's turn in opposite directions, I think it's just the camshafts that are different. Could be wrong though, but it's something to keep in mind.

I believe the cams gears are reversed on special built boat engines. I would see if they were built for boats (mercruisers) or if someone dropped in a regular production motor, which is common in boating too. My brother had a plain old corvette 350 motor in his 24' boat.
