Our block is toast and been researching options. Seems the 3024c might not be terrible getting it to fit. Did hear one complaint because it's a higher revving engine the hydros are hard to be as smooth with. Anyone with experience or know a way to tone that down? We did find a used 3034 out of a 226 and told if we swap the fuel cassette we will have the same HP output and that is our cheapest and simplest option. It's unknown hours but supposed to run well and has a 30 day warranty. Any tips/upgrades that we might want to do to it before just slapping that in? Another option is a 3034t we found, the HP gain might be nice and it's low hours but not cheap. Last options (since we don't want to spend the time to fit a 4bt) is a 3044. They are supposed to be good motors but not sure the fabricating needed. Anyone with experience or advice? Thanks!
