Default 351W marine engine?

Thinking of buying one from the late 1990's, anything I need to look for? Anything special about this motor? Any problems other than the usual with putting it in a 87 GT?

The only real difference is the type of freeze plugs that they used, that and chances are it was cooled with whatever water it was running in. Marine motors are fine to be converted to vehicular useage.

Oh yeah, it's been done loads of times.

Once I either get a hole in my haul of my boat, or the motor blows in my truck - It's engine swap time! [8D]
