Anyone use these engins in a boat???
 

This guy has been all over the place in the north east . if you go to any national car show or large automotive event he will be there reving the hell out of his engines every hour drawing a croud from miles away. He will stand between two engines with open headers in a trailer reving them to 6000 rpm. The man must be deaf. If you seen him you will know what I am talking about.

I seen the engines and they look impressive for a street rod but what about reliability in a boat???? I talked with Al at the Adirondack nationals and he said that people are using his engines for marine use.

Anyone know of anyone using his products?????

The seem cheep , but are they made cheep????

Am i missing something here? the prices dont look bad at all and an extra $500 you can get a 8-71 BDS blower??? who would pass that up!?!?!?

is this with you supplying the block or something???

:eek:
Tell me nothin is broke
:crazy:

That's too good to be true.

Well, maybe not....if it doesn't say the word MARINE on it. :D

JUNK PARTS I know guys that that put them in there HOT RODS !!!! I see him at car show/swapmeets buying old parts all the time blower moters for about $6500.00 NO WAY!!! You only get what you pay for.

I'm sure that if you offered an extra $2000 he would add the word "marine" to the description for you.:D

In all seriousness, these look like remans. If you notice, they offer double roller timing chains on their 454s. Gen VI 454 blocks will not normally take a double roller timing chain, leading me to believe they are older MkIV or Gen V blocks that I don't think are made anymore.

Also, the 671 blower on the 454 with a two bolt main and an iron crank has "grenade" written all over it.:eek:

Thats 6000 NO LOAD rpm.
Try that in your boat..... BOOOOMMM or BANG or CLANK.
On the street it's cool to drive over your crank once and a while , it gives the guys some thing to talk about at the local hang out !
I wouldn't want to put a crank thru the hull though!
Don't forget all the head work (especially valve seat work) required to run high rpm/ high loads for extended periods.
There really is are reasons why we pay more for QUALITY machine work.
