Default Re: seamaster 27 flybridge

The Chrysler 360 is a very tunable motor. New long blocks is certainly an good option. I highly recommend that if you do this, you update the ignition system to electronic CDI ignition, rather than the points-triggered coil which was standard. The regular conversion kits for the 273/318/340/360 V8 motors is only $226, including new distributor from MoPartsracing, part # P3690426. This alone will increase fuel efficiency by 12-15%.
This is NOT a marine distributor, put without points, the difference is unimportant, and you save $250 over a Mallory CDI marine distributor.

For other stuff, you can go to Hurrikain Marine or Ebasic Power for lots of Chrysler marine parts and stuff.
