Just picked up a project boat and will be rebuilding the motor and it has a Mercruiser SC blower with a Teague Super Chiller (supposed to be rebuilt by TBS and never ran, just been sitting). I have read some on these blowers as I am not familiar with boat motors and am trying to educate myself as I come from a drag racing engine background. I still need to have all the parts and heads checked by my machinist but was told it is a BBC 540 and it does have 088 heads with purple stripe springs (factory springs). The bottom end has H beam rods and a nice looking crank with a hydraulic roller cam, and it does have flat tops with a single cutout for the valve. I have read that the SC blower is a Weiand 177 and the pulleys can be swapped for more HP, is this OK for this application since it has a super chiller? Is there anything special I should be looking at changing or paying attention too for the rebuild?
Thanks
