cheapest route and easiest place to find the intake and carb would probably be summit racing or jegs... make sure you get a marine certified carburator though, they do sell them. can't help you on the exhaust since i have no idea what boat you have what manifolds or engine etc etc etc

I have a 4.3 and ordered the edelbrock intake and 4 barrel from summit racing it madea huge difference i gained 400 rpm now i need a bigger prop.

Part numbers

intake edelbrock 2111
carb edelbrock 1409
calibration kit 1485

you will also need a throttle cable bracket from a 4barrel 4.3 there are two diffrent ones that mercrusier makes be sure and get the one with two sets of bolt holes for the carb flange.

I would highly recomed this upgrade. my next upgrade this fall will be a cam and ported and poished heads. should hit 275-300 hp

I cant wait
