Need to find a pic, but the last I6 I messed with was a 292 Dad and I built to replace an underpowered Iron Duke in a 19' Bowrider. It was a much cheaper repower/upgrade as we only needed to buy one expensive exhaust manifold. We put a Q-Jet on it, which took a while to get jetted right. That...
Cruise RPM @ 60mph with stock tires should be ~3000rpm. As mentioned a 350 will enjoy this much more than the 6.2 did, and taller tires will help. There are calculators out there to determine how much.
