Merc with a 708ci motor?
 

I was just flipping though the Powerboat mag site and I came across a headline regarding a new motor for merc. Apparently it is 700 cubic inches, all aluminum and is by a outside supplier. Unfortinatly, I can't read the article.

Cord, maybe it's Ford based.;) We can only hope.

Payton, buddy, why on earth would Merc stoop so low? LOL

BTW, does Fieldhouse work on your boat? Just curious. :D :D

Sounds great. 700 cui and allu sounds like a lot of Ponys with little weight at a reasonable price would be fine. But I think the last was wish.

I saw it at the Miami show. reasonable price, Ya Right. Merc will charge what ever people will pay!!!!!!:D

Merc 708cu Engine
 

Ok guys, the engine at the miami show was a 557 chevy block. It's 1050hp. If they're using the Allstar 708, then it's going to be around 1400hp if they do it right. Hopefully merc finally designs a completely hydraulic engine so we don't have to tear the damn things down every 50 hrs. That's crap in my mind..

708ci
 

It's the allstar motor; r&d by goodwin competition.

If you want to see a picture of a 706 c.i. motor, go to page three of the 144 mph whipple post. Mikeshtm posted a picture of Scotty Cannons motor. Its got a two stage nitrous setup, dynoed at 1800h.p.. Its in a 25 talon with a number 6 drive.

Sydwayz23, Nope Fieldhouse doesn't work on my boat;) They work on my trucks though. although being Fords, they don't need much work.:cool:
