Regardless the boat could be bought just for the engine at the $2000 BIN price.

So this one is either a 331 or a 354. I think it would be a shame for someone to part this out, but restoring a boat is no easy task either. 392 hemis were never used in truck, industrial, or marine applications. They were only used in '57-'58 Imperials, New Yorkers & 300's.
