ok this might a dumb azz question . . . not my first . . . but are those small blocks? I mean they are 4/71 blowers and where you can see the bottom of the left rear motor it kinda looks like a bigger gap between the first and second tube at the head?? Kinda look like small-ish valve covers . . . maybe i'm just seeing things . .. i dunno . . . im intrigued by this thing lol

Definitely BBC, seeing the header tube spacing and bolt pattern on the valve cover and looks to be EFI TB's ? 871 blowers ?

It might be the way the picture was taken but the rear motors appeared higher than the front two motors.

If I remember right, and I could be completely wrong but they were 1,000-1,100 KE and the boat sank when it wasn’t very old. I see Sterling valve covers on it now though, so who knows what they are at this point.

Pretty cool piece but way out of what I would have the patience or pocketbook for!
