O man this is a big one, what do you plan on doing surf flat water?

There are many options what do you want to spend?

More info please.

i would like to spend no more than 1000 on a complete engine w/ carbs. less if i can. havent decided yet on making it a "freestyle" boat, or just an extra for others to ride. mainly got it to learn on (wrenching that is). it was a race boat and has hull extensions and unidentified tubbies bolted on. i am hoping to put together for 2000-2500.was planning on workin on it through the winter and to slowly collect parts for it until then. i only paid 400 for the hull.(a day before i found out that the house im renting is being sold) and now ive got to find a place to live w/ three dogs by july 1st.:banghead::banghead::banghead:

you should be able to find what you are looking for at that price.

will any 701 fit? yes

are they all the same? no


do some reasearch on 61x motors, and 62t motors they're both 701 and the parts are interchangable.
 
61 x motor= 61x case and 61x cyl. single carb (stock 701 w/94, 95 SJ)
62t motor=61x case and 62t cyl double carb (STOCK 701 W/96+ SJ)


is that right?

61x cases, 61x cyl
62t cases, 61x cyl
or 62t cases, 62t cyl.

i guess it is possible to have 61x cases, 62tcyl.

preferred is something with the 61x cyl.

which one is which? this is sooo confusing. there was a post a while back about a wave raider b pipe workin on a SJ. the said the manifold had diff. sizes and would have to be clearanced becaus the wave raidser was a 62t and i asked why it wouldnt work because i thought the newer sj was also a 62t but was told it wasnt.

quick rundown.

61x - single carb good low end power made until 1995
62t - dual carb sit down motor more power than 61x with less low end

96+ sj and 96 blasters came with 61x cylinders on 62t cases. more overall power than 61x motor same low end.

the frankenstein is the cheaper (by a little) and opposite alternative to the "normal" sj motor.
