You might check out Chevy's crate motors. I've never purchased one but I've heard they're reasonable for a stock motor and think they have a warranty as well. :)

A marine motor ? really I did not know they made those ...... it needs or has to be a marine motor ....... they are a much better motor ..... thanx for the help

The better materials in the water pump (impeller) are needed because we pump unfiltered, sandy, possible corrosive metals, and even salt water. For most of us, out radiator is the body of water we are on. Same goes for the head gaskets. The cams are setup for a torque curve. The bearing lcearances are sometimes set a little looser. The "J-tubes" are needed in enclosed engine compartments to reduce the possibility of fuel spilling on the outside of the carb creating an explosive condition. Even in offroad conditions with a marine carb, if you tip your Jeep enough, you'll flood the bowls. The electronics can be bought standard, or marine version. An MSD box and distributor can provide a well sealed system, but you still won't be able to go submarining.

Man O man, when I bought my boat the first thing I noticed was the MSD box was mounted down on the floor. When I asked he said "hey, it's water proof". Let's just say that it's getting moved now but I did run it that way for one summer. It was totaly soaked every time the boat went out with zero troubles. I could not belive it myself.
I think one of those would be a must have in a Jeep. But I'm with ya, I still wouldn't go submarining but it'll take all the splashes you can give it.
As far as the rest of the engine. I'm not buying into this marine thing. I'ed get a stocker out of a late model truck or something. Fuelinjection is a must have for me in any of my 4x4's.
350's are all over. You should find one pretty easy I'ed think.

Order the Ram-Jet 350 from GM. For 5k you get everything. Hook up the power and ground and a fuel pump and you are ready to go. If thats not enough get the Ram-Jet 502.
