Since you have it apart, have you thought about upgrading to vortec heads and manifold? 25~35 more HP and everything bolts right to the shortblock. You will need the vortec manifold but looks like you are going to have to buy a replacement anyway. You can find a good set of used heads on ebay for ~$250 and pickup a stock manifold w/ tbi pretty cheap too! These came on 1,000s of chevy trucks over the years and can be identified by the vertical manifold bolting and only 8 bolts. Later predators were rated at 310hp. I suspect the cam and internals are the same as yours.

Hi Rossterman

No had not considered this ,good idea,
however I am in the UK so very limited here on the supply of these parts ,and what there is expensive .
My goal with this is restore is to get the whole package back to a good reliable condition but I am on a limited budget .
I am now just looking to rebuild my current TBI , but I am stuck on the injectors .

Hi All

I am still trying to find a pair of injectors , lots for sale but I need to get correct ones ,
the number is stamped on the top face where the loom plugs to ,
but I cannot recover the number from my old injectors as they have badly corroded .
Any help on this would be great.


thanks

Kevin

Thank you

Geez this project looks more like restoring a WWII Spitfire than a boat of this century. Amazing what salt water does to a boat.....

Hi All

I am still trying to find out the correct injector casting number , you can see by looking down the throat of the TBI unit underneath the injecotr plugs, normally a 8 digit number , possilby starting 17_ _ _ _ _ _
Everyone is very quite on this topic , has it never been spoken about before ?
Also does the fuel pump setup with just 1 pump on the rear of the engine block run a lower pressure i.e 10-14 psi .

thanks

Kevin

one fuel pump that I know of - available online.. http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Re...Dp%3d3%26N%3d0 - not available at the stores only online... and about half the price than a marine store.

injector - port side 17014288*ACR and 7184 GM
injector - starboard - 17014288*ACR and 6214 GM

Hi MikeG

I am impressed , where did you get numbers from?
Also to to confirm these casting numbers have come from a 1995 -1996 model with a 350 GM , with a low fuel pressure setup with just the 1 pump on the rear of the block .

Many thanks again

Kevin
