302 block swap?

First off I hope this can be posted here. Secondly what I have is a 302(1977) in my boat that has a cracked block. I'm wondering if I can take the crank,pistons,cam,pan and anything else from my boats motor and put them in a block out of a car or truck and throw my top end on it?

A 302 is a 302, the only differnce between a marine longblock and an automotive version is the cam, so swap that(or better yet get a new one) and put the marine intake and exhaust on it and drop it in.

If you run the boat in salt water you should use the brass frezze plugs ... Lew
