thanks, hopefully everything turns out good

[@johngrepo9976]

You did a better job painting your engine then I did!

[@cali530marcos3]

The hardest part was cleaning it and prepping it,

[@johngrepo9976]

@@cali530marcos3 you're right about that! How did your 350 run?

[@cali530marcos3]

@@johngrepo9976 it ran good, I installed it in a 1988 Malibu ski boat, took it out to the lake couple of times then sold it

Question why did you put the top.and top Center I thought supposed dot-to-dot on the timing chain

[@mrsuarez430]

Great job cuz I'm An outboard mechanic started working on a 96/97 mercruiser 305 I'm rebuilding it (what a mission to get it out of a searay 21.5 😮) when I checked the oil it was 50/50 fuel oil mixed in the pan guess some kept trying to start it over and over until with the choke stuck open so the gas it got through the rings it's nuts half a 5 gallon bucket was in the pan. I FIGURE it was leaking because oil from the balancer seal or timing cover and oil was so thin... can't tell yet anyways again great job looks nice 👍 cheers from Miami

Thanks, good luck on ur build

Cute little girl I remember when my kids were that little good times anyway sometimes I get real creative and put all the intake bolts in a piece of cardboard and paint them black mostly before installing and do that with other bolts a;so I want to pop out I know it's crazy but it's nice when done and looks better I think

Thanks, appreciate you taking time to comment

[@nickrodriguez7293]

You mentioned you're going to install the distributor. What happened there? At some point I'm sure you did, but did you videotape it?

[@cali530marcos3]

I installed this engine on a 1988 Malibu ski boat, I think I showed the install on that video

[@Saeger81]

Any update on how it’s running

[@cali530marcos3]

I haven’t started the engine yet, I’ve been too busy working on my impala, I did drop it into my 1988 Malibu ski boat which was why I built it, but imma start making videos on the ski boat and I will be sure to record the first start up

[@bubbabatterby7059]

How many cans of primer and paint. Good video.

[@cali530marcos3]

I used 1 can of primer, 2 cans of paint, and 1 can of clear coat.

[@bubbabatterby7059]

Thanks.

[@wreckanchor]

Did you drive a new lower dipstick tube into the block? I didnt see one in there when you put your oil pan on.

[@cali530marcos3]

Yea but I did it off camera

[@jameswelch7516]

Have you started your engine yet

[@cali530marcos3]

No not yet, but i will be sure to record the first fire up
