Congrats on the repower. I'll be watching this thread very closely, very curious as to what you'll get for performance numbers with the new engine.
I currently have what I believe to be a 2004 5.7 Crusader 350 EFI (throttle body). Pushes my 23 WOT to 30 knots. I cruise all day around 18 knots. The engine you are putting in should have around 320-330 HP though. I think mine is only rated for 270 HP.
I think when the times comes, I'll consider another Marine Power (just put two in the Luhrs two years ago) or another Crusader. Maybe diesel if I feel like dropping 40k on a repower.....
Good luck on the project! What shop is doing the work?
