Years ago I looked at a houseboat in a marine yard in Huntsville, AL which had two 340's in it. They were there to have them rebuilt.

Neat stuff!! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if that intake manifold is a 273 small port or with bigger 340/360 ports. Trip!! Fun to walk thru there and just browse!

That's the turn signal stalk, obviously. ;-)

Did he say what his plans are? That barracuda is a nice find.
Is that a 340 2 barrel? Looks like the 250 is the horsepower.

Chrysler specs for '71-'73 are pretty much the same. All show 4 Bbl for carb and 250 hp. Compression drops a touch in '72-'73 to 8.8. In '70 the 250 Hp was a 413 ci. In '74 the 250 Hp is a 360 ci.

Yeah but where are you getting those specs? Marine engines may well not be same as automotive. A family cruiser is never going to see redline, and they may have different cams or different cam timing, etc

I've been eyeing that Healey for a few years now, is he looking to sell it? There are a few other mopars in that storage yard, my 65 included.
Is that your 65 ? It looks pretty solid and complete ! Sorry about the smudge on the driverside window...lol
How long has that been sitting there ?
I did not meet the owner of the Healey . I was with the owner of the boat .
I noticed that as well but not sure how many were factory offerings vs owner transplants.
He said he might sell it or take it to Couer de lane if he moves up there .
But then I found a Craigslist ad for it.
So I think he is more motivated than he made it sound...
I would love to have it except for the lack of room at my house and water in SE Idaho.
Would be a fun Boat ^^^^^ to tow with the Orange '76 D100 truck, blast from the past.
Run it on the St. Croix River Wisconsin/Minnesota boarder line.
Prescott WI, North up to Stillwater MN,
and back again.
A person can Dream . . .

The real deal, back in the '90s:
'78 D100 Tow Vehicle
'88 custom built Bayliner I/O
Performance 2.3 OHC, OMC outdrive.
Such good times.
Edit:
OK, had to do a little digging but found it.
Was an every weekend outing, lots of neighborhood friends had boats so we all made a good time of it. (back in the day)

If I still lived in MN I would grab it in a heartbeat ! But there is no water out hear unless you drive 8 hrs. ( well no lakes..)
Cool truck !
He wants 9k in CL ad. Look in Boise CL under boats.

The video I posted depicts the startup, the shifting, and the throttle operation.
Not sure if Hurrikain is still offering manuals. They still have links though....
