Re: Approximate cost to rebuild 4207 350
Also depends on how much of the ancillary stuff was reused or replaced.
Also depends on how "hungry" the shop is for work. The last few years they've been slammed so there's been no real "deals" on work, especially heavy work.

Re: Approximate cost to rebuild 4207 350
I decided to do it myself, and I pulled it off without ever hauling the boat out of the water. I opted for a brand new marine engine at around $4K, and the whole thing took me about 5 full days from start to finish. Getting the old engine out, and the new one in through the salon was definitely the hardest part...but very doable. I used a harbor freight scaffolding, a steel I-beam, an I-beam trolley, and chain hoist to make it happen. I ended up re-building and selling my old engine for $2K. All-in-all, it cost about $3,800 total and about 50 man-hours to do this project myself...but the biggest bonus is that I only lost one weekend using the boat. Would I do it again...not sure. You can save a lot of $$$ if you are handy and resourceful, but not a profect for the faint of heart.

Re: Approximate cost to rebuild 4207 350
When they rebuilt the Volvo 7.4 Volvo gas engines, they replaced one of the original Holley carburetors, but replaced one with a new Edelbrock carburetor. It’s been a while since I bought a carburetor, but to keep the engine configurations similar, I bought a matching Edelbrock for the other engine, costing about $800 CDN, and then replacing the fuel line from the fuel pump to the carburetor for another $100. The last time that I bought a new carburetor, it cost about $150!
The prices for engine components, even on gas engines, sure has gone up in the last few years!
