Price for 383 merc crate motor and details
 

Anyone got an approximate price for a 383 merc motor? My fresh motor lasted all of 5 minutes before destruction.:mad:

Also estimate for pricing for a 350. I am not interested in building another motor for this boat, it is going to be sold ASAP.

At this time I am not going to share details how my motor failed. I will wait and see how the "dust" settles.

I happen to have a FWC 350 Crusader long block that I got in trade. Was from a Diesel conversion and motor is perfect.
PM me if interested....

That's where I got my 383's last year, they were 10,900 each c/w engine (plug and play),transom,bravo I (new gen),trim pump, steering ram, and hardware.

We have the complete ready to install 383 engine only - Bravo applicaiton for $6495

This included the drive? Not a bad deal at all if it is a complete drive unit!

yep! all included, just drop it in and add props!

i think those 383 motors from mercury are not brand new engines but rebuilds from them.

Here is a link to the 383 page on our site, hope it gives a clearer idea of what you are getting. We have sold a bunch of them. No problems to date, everyone has reported great performance.

I like Marc and he is very helpful, but I am getting a motor bulit by one of the very best in the buisiness built to tighter tolerances and balanced to within 1/2 of a gram for about half of what that goes for . Of course supplying the block and vortech head cores Gm used to offer a marineized 383 ready to drop in, but did not sell enough of them and ceased production. This really is the missing link that I need to put in a 27' cruiser that just needs about 75-100 more horsepower and more importantly the torque that comes from the stroke, without the added cost of going big block and related accessories...

This is the perfect motor

Complete engine $6495

Still a good deal.
