Maybe someone can provide some advise..
I am in the process of buying a Classic (glass...I know..LOL) Chris Craft Cutlass 1978.
It has an OEM Chevy 305 inboard. Has anyone had experience with these engines?
Does anyone know if there is a closed cooling kit for that engine?
Thanks
safe boating,
dave

Look up Mercruiser 198 , 2bbl set up I had in a 1984 Chris Craft , ran awesome and real good on gas. All the parts for a 350 also worked on the 305 , as far as cooling was concerned.

Good but dumb motor; it is the same size and weight of a 350, but with a lot less power. Why bother?
