Hello, I am considering converting my 71 33 SS from the standard 318s to Detroit 353s. I am told that the 353s will bolt up to my paragon transmissions. I wanted to know if anybody has converted one of these boats to small diesels and what other modifications need to be done. I think I would be fine with the 1 1/4 shafts as the engines are only like 108HP ea.
I have not bought the engines yet and I don't actually know what the guy wants for them but I bought a complete 318 standard rotation engine with transmission and V-drive with only 300 hours for $250.00 from him about 4 months ago so I assume I can get the diesels for a good price. They came out of an old cruzon running but most likely need to be overhauled. The parts are reasonable for these engines so I thought it may be a good way to go. Any thoughts?
