Motor looks great! What's in it, and are you doing anything to the hull?

The engine is a 350. We pulled the heads and oil pan and took a look see, and it appears that it has new pistons, and rods, and it runs great and compression is good . so for now, I just degreased the hell out of it,(10 cans of brake cleaner) and painted it with some engine paint. I am bead blasting all of the little parts and brackets and am going to powder coat them. I'm not sure how well the aluminum parts will hold up, but I got a good deal on them so we'll see. I am waiting on a new 600 holley marine carb to replace the auto one on it now, and also the MSD ingition. It should do the trick. I picked up my new interior form biltrite today. Awesome. They are great people. I'll post some picksa nd talk more about it tommorrow.
