Thought I'll share some pics of the original 482 champion engines from 1972, we are putting in the old Kiekhaefer Aeromarine 3 currently beeing restored in Norway. As you can see this is not a common big-block from a car converted for boat , but pure racing from the early seventies. I must say Carl Kiekhaefer made a point on having his logo cast in on all the parts.....

Best regards Joern
