You will need to change out those headers from straight backs to downturned. Otherwise you will have a very extreme downturn in your exhaust in order to get it under the swim platform.
Being that it is new, see if Ilmor will change yours out. If not I may have a set. |

I talked to Ilmor today and I asked if this engine will fit without making major modifications. They asked me to measure the the inside of the engine compartment. They said I would need 45 inches for the top of the transom to the top of the firewall. My mechanic got 46 inches but he measured from the middle instead top but the transom. Since the transom angles out from the bottom up they said their sure its gonna fit. I imagine it's going to be tight! According to them it's only 2 inches longer than a chevy big block... I bought the engine.
Have fun!! :coolcowboy: |

I wish.. Ilmor won't fit in a 27 without major mod. It would not be worth it to do the mod. Better off to get another boat.
The 29 with a 710 or 725 oughta sing nicely. I have a 710 in a 28 ft boat and I can assure you - its thrilling. Mash the stick and it scares the panties off the chicks and impresses your buddies with vulgar displays of power. These mills have anvil like reliability and can sip the gas if can actually manage to control yourself. UD |

UD While I share your enthusiasm for Ilmor and would LOVE a ride in your boat, I can assure you that the 27 Fountain has a bilge that does not lend itself to stabbing a V-10. It'll fit in the 29 but not an early 2000's 27 footer. Well, not unless you are willing to spend a ton of money and labor that would easily be a bigger pita than simply getting another boat on a fire sale today.. A standard BBC "barely" fits in there. And the back of the rear bench is part of the structural bulkhead. It would be a nightmare in my opinion. You should bring your ride down to SD and grace our ear drums with the sound of 6000 rpms!!
