Greetings, new to forum, not new to Y-Blocks.

Wondering if anyone has experience with the marine series of Y-Blocks.  I was given a complete engine out of a boat.  Is there anything of value that I can use on my street motor.  I know it turns backwards so the crank and cam are out but I noticed that the valve train looks more beefier than any of my street motors.  Also has a couple of side draft webbers, wondering if they are any use to anyone.

The main engine parts, less the camshaft and timing gear are useable. The carbs are the same ones used on the Corvette 6 cylinder so sometimes you find a market for them. Is this a 292 or 312? I had good luck with a couple of these engines in the past. Both had the 113 heads on them and the high ratio rocker arms.
