Sorry, it is a single 360.

Also, since it sounds like there is a ton of chrysler marine
experience here........... (I am a chrysler guru, but this is the
first marine engine I have ever messed with)

This 360 has heavy cast iron rockers, is that a marine thing? (Ticks
like a mech cam too, I haven't opened up a cover to see if it does
have one, or has lifter/adjustment issues)
It also has a single plane intake, I think it came off of the 318,
(Which has different port size in the auto world). The manifold looks
like the 2bbl single plane on the 215hp 318's, and just like the 273
manifold. It is on the 360 now.

Is 7-8kts a good speed? I am happy with it, I just was wondering if it
was supposed to be a slow boat, or it was because it is under power.
Last boat was a 1976 Bayliner 22', with one of those little inline
volvo AQ170hp engines, it ran like stink, 14-16kts, and it took more
power to run at 7kts. But it was too small, took rough water like
crap, and was a Bayliner. I go out in the Prince William Sound, so
choppy water is normal, and it is nothing for 6'-8'ers to come up in
the middle of the trip.

What is "Cupping"? I am new to boats this small, also, another inch on
the pitch I too think would make a difference.

The main issue I have with running it 3300, is the 4bbls are kicked
in, and it seems to be burning about 12gph. I am getting about 1/2
gallon per mile at 7kts.

As far as the cummins, my truck has a 350-375HP tweaked VE pump
cummins, I just wonder how the bellhousing/transmission thing will
work. I guess find a twin disc from a yacht re-power? Being a trailer
boat, I cant run a huge prop.
