Ford, Chevy, Olds, Mopar?
I have been told it is a 460 Ford, I think that is wrong because the distributor is on the end with the transmission and Fords are on the belt side.
I don't think is is an olds because the heads on a 455 have the center two exhausts on each side exit close together in the picture I have seen.
I don't think the distributor is right for a mopar.
I figured I would ask the experts here on the board.
Thanks,
Ernie

04-30-2010 04:03 PMMy wife and I wanted a family friendly boat, and I wanted a project, so I have been looking for a classic ski boat and found this Century Arabian like the one my dad had when I was little. Needs paint, floorboard, interior, and a rebuild, but it will be a fun project for my dad and I.
Should be a fun build,

05-11-2010 09:53 PMCan you read the serial number on the bell housing? It looks to me like the trannie is merc stuff too. The engine appears to have been changed. I don't recognize anything on it as Merc. I do agree it looks like a BBC
