Chevy 307 - Need info

[FloridaQuaker1027]

A buddy of mine know someone who is selling a a project boat never finished.....Hull and cage are in great shape as well as trailer (as far as pictures show ) the guy wants 1500 for whole package including 307 motor without stand and i am not sure if he has a prop adaptor on it or not.....Pictures look like this guy did a fresh rebuild

I personally know nothing about chevy 307 motors.....I am more interest in the hull than anything but the guy will only do a package deal.....Before I throw my money in how much do yall think i can get fore the motor if i decided to get rid....Also if i decide to keep the motor is that a good motor for an airboat???

A 307 isn't worth much. There's not a real performance application and the blocks are thin castings.

They are a marginally better engine than a 305 because they have slightly larger bores allowing bigger valves and better breathing. Their shorter stroke gives them a slight RPM advantage also.

Not a great airboat engine.

You could probably sell it to someone who needs a work truck engine for a few hundred bucks depending on the condition.

would know if the 307 is a good motor.....I am almost positive it is a direct drive
