After overheating my V8 350 both cilinder heads are cracked. I see no visible cracks on the block or cilinder liners. Should I just buy 2 new heads and hope for the best or is there a big risk of a damaged block or melted piston rings?

I would be more inclined to simply buy a new engine - the SB 350 Marine remans can be had for about $1,200 delivered and you simply swap your tin (cover, oild pan, etc), carb, alt and waterpump over.

don't exactly know how hot it get, but they run without water (waterhose was off) for 1 hour. Water in oil etc.
