I have a 1972 X-18 with a Holman Moody Ford 351 Windsor engine and GT-40 heads. Engine model is CPM235B4V.
Sad to say, the yard found water in the oil when winterizing the boat at the end of last summer, and the local engine shop tells me that the block is rusted out. The boat is up near Bar Harbor, Maine. Not exactly a hotbed of high performance motor boating.
If possible, I would like to salvage as much of the old engine as possible because it has some very nice accessories, and the installation was carefully engineered by the former owner. Any advice regarding where to get a short block would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Don
