Paragon Trans Compatibility?

Hi,
I have a 28' project luhrs flybridge boat that i'm restoring currently and am looking to know what motors are compatible with my trans. What i have now is a paragon v drive bolted up to a chrysler 360 motor. I ran the motor recently and realized that the block is cracked, so i'm looking to see if I can bolt up a ford, gm, mercruiser, or other motors other than a chrysler to my current trans. I'm realizing the mopars are harder and more expensive to come by..
Thanks

You can change the bellhousing to match any motor.

Bellhousings are SAE standard. Try ebasicpower.com , ebay is also a good place to look.
