Does anyone know a good contact for a top end gasket set and carb rebuild set for one of my 454HO in my 1991 Crossbow? Found the root of the starboard engine problem was a badly needed valve job due to running way too rich for years (before I purchased it) and am now just needing to get these two pieces to FINALLY get wet this year.

Specifically I am looking for Fel-Pro part 17201, (but would consider using Mr Gasket or something else!) for a 454HO Gen VI with rectangular heads. I have tried looking everywhere and keep coming up with nothing. No one carries it in stock and wait times range from a few weeks to 2 months.:splat:

On the carb side, I need the Holley kit 730-35 for a marine 4165 850CFM (List #80311). Again, no luck in finding someone with it in stock and wait times range the same:banghead:

Thanks!

Sorry about that Buizilla....yes lots of hmmmm let me correct and explain:
1. 4150 Holley 850CFM Dual-feed (Original carb) so I might be incorrect about the kit. Anyone know if it that one (703-35), 3-1184, or 3-422?
2. The boat is a 1991 33Z Crossbow, the original GenIV engine was swamped out back in 2000 with a Gen VI.
