Came across this article from 2006 and figured I would share...

http://www.enginebuildermag.com/Arti...t_for_you.aspx

Teague is right there aren't many marine engine builders. Let's name some(besides him);

Paul Pfaff
Alexi Sahagian(Boostpower)
Greg Teague(GT Racing)
Tommy Hoffstetter(Chief)
Ron Potter

That's my five.

How's about

gellner
cobra
young
inovation
raylar
steerling
jc
zul

the boys at merc racing forgot more then most engine biulders know and there car guys !

Ilmor

Ateco

That's sixteen counting Teague, any more?

Um...Nor-Tech.

yea right!!!! First you guys have to learn how to build a stock 5.0

It took the boys at Mercury Racing along time to catch up,..........and they have millions of dollars to play with. :evilb::evilb:

Dave at MDG Performance... I would put his engines and ethics up with anyone.

Interesting Article!

I also read the article about reading dyno numbers properly.

If you are running constant coolant temps with closed cooling and not using ultra esoteric equipment like Alcohol injected supercharging, why wouldn't the same basic principles of endurance engine building apply to our marine engines?

.

They do mostly.

The major difference being the marine environment supplies an lifeline of everlasting cool water that the endurance racing guys would love to have to keep their oil temps down and control part "growth" under extreme long lasting heat load. I think you could actually tighten up the marine version a little more than the endurance racing deal.

Ive been running a 500hp 406 in a 2600 lb tunnel hull for a decade that was built by an old drag race guy who "set it up" and cammed it for boat use. It's held up supremely well, but the guy used great parts meticulously machined and had built a ZILLION engines.

Your wicked, mega breathing super cylinder headed big block fords look like they have all this covered to me 2112....
