Hmmmm, Something to think about. Probably would make a killer engine for a pick up. No doubt more torque and hp than a standard pick up 250. There are some boat places here. I'll have to check them out. I saw one boat with a 292 chevy in a 24 or 26' cabin cruiser. The owner said it had good torque and power for that boat. It probably had a 2bbl on it or a 4bbl. Henry
