Re: 350 in 283 Disguise
I agree with the ease of a bolt in design. The 350 in 283 dress parts is a true vintage look. I would do the dual exhaust for the sound effects. If I go with the 350 I might want a bigger prop and changing the angle. Also, I need a new shaft to replace the original. What transmission have you used ...

Use the CC 283 flywheel forward set up. Chris Craft designed it to drop right in place of the K. You might have to add some wood to the length of the rear mount block. You might be able to reuse your shaft if its a stainless steel one. The 283 set up is 1/2" shorter then the K. But the angles are th...

If the boat filled up with enough water it can push through the rear seal. the rear seal is installed to keep the fluid in the trans not to keep fluid from coming in from the outside. The same thing goes for the rear seal on the engine. If the seals are really worn it is easier for this to happen. A...

Those were optional wheels in the early 50's. I have them on a 18' and a 22' sportsman. They are shown in the 50's accessory catalog. Century also used them. I have also seen them on the Willys Jeepsters. I haven't seen it on a Riv or Holiday, but this is the 1950-52 Racer standard equipment banjo w...

If the cracks are small you can fill them with cold epoxy by permatex. If the fumes have an oily smell it will be from the crankcase vent. It doesn't always leave a mess. Also check your exhaust elbow real good if its a cast iron one. They get eaten away from the inside and can crack or get a small ...

I would suggest the same thing mfine suggested float the boat and see how bad it leaks or you could use a hole saw and take a core sample out of the bottom and see how the bottom was put together. I had to take a core sample on a boat that a customer bought that was supposed to have a 5200 bottom. T...

To remove the copper rivets you just grind off the peened over shank till its flush with the rove. A mini angle grinder like the one shown in danenbergs book with a 2" 50 to 80 grit disc. Then use a straight shank punch and knock the copper nails out. It won't take you long to do it. Saw a guy in Ma...

The system was designed so one impeller supplied one bank of the engine and the other impeller supplied the other. If you have the cast iron intake you are supposed to have one intake gasket that blocks off the water flow from the head to the thermostat chamber. If you have the low profile intake th...

Make sure you use break in oil for the first 20 hours or so. The rings will not seat in if you use regular oil from the parts store. see link
