Buy New GM 350 Longblock - 5.7L Vortec for Years 1996 - Current. Volvo Penta, Crusader, Indmar, Marine Power, etc. Login New Account Shopping Cart. Greetings, - My boat has a 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7GI i/o which was overheated and now knocks. I also believe either the head gasket is blown or the heads are cracked, going to start taking it apart tonight. Vortec 350![]() The knock is a rod for sure and there is milkshake in heads. Can I replace the Volvo Penta 5.7 with a Chevy 350?, I'm 99% sure they are same motor. I was thinking that I would probably be better off rebuilding the Volvo because it is a marine motor? Any thoughts, I am experienced in building honda motors and figured an old 350 couldn't be much harder. Any thoughts? Re: Replace the Volvo Penta 5.7 with a Chevy 350? But as said, make sure that if yours is a 1pc rear main seal, that you get a 1pc rear main block(same ventage). Most likely it is a Vortec, and the heads are differant, so you have to make sure the manifold will bolt up to the new engine. When I did my 01, I bought an 88 block that had been completely gone through, and a set of remanufactored Vortec heads off ebay for $300.

I was in a hurry to get my boat back in the water, so I went out and bought a complete used engine. Turned out I got the shaft, and it was junk. So I bought the bottom end and heads seperately. Ended up taking nearly 2 months to get it all back together. If I was to do this again, I would rebuild what I have, aside from the great deal I found on the heads. My fear was that a machine shop would take too long to get my stuff done, but as it turns out I probably would have been back in the water quicker and a lot cheaper if I had just rebuilt the bottom end myself. Re: Replace the Volvo Penta 5.7 with a Chevy 350? Thanks guys, I know the local machine shops personally so can get the work done fast. I can def do the work to rebuild, since it is knocking I will prob buy a crank kit and salvage whatever else I can. My thoughts were rebuild the one i have since it still runs and has the marine cam, plugs etc. I will take it apart this weekend, hopefully the heads are not cracked but we will see.
