I'm not sure if the Chevy II 153 or Vortec 3000 would be any easier to find up north or not. I know a lot of boats are used in the Ketchikan region but it depends on where the OP is located.

A model A engine could be used with an AA truck clutch cover. The model A casting has a bit more thickness of casting around the valves than the B engine does. An electric pump may be needed since there is no provision on the A blocks.
