TOPIC: gray marine v8-188

seems finding parts may be dificult. my boats a 61-63 turbocraft jet35. now the gray marine v8-188 is a amc 327. im not finding alot of easy answers on the web. i'm hoping to be able to find/buy parts from the cheaper automotive end. the 250,287, and 327 are basically the same other that the bore length? im not finding squat for the 327 out there. the 287 either. but the 250 i think i've seen alota parts. so.... would a amc 250 rebuild kit or gaskets or intake or cam work for the 327?

It's been a long time since my AMC days. Some parts will swap, biggest differ is the bore dia. These sites have some info to get you started...CAT*FIN*k.
