There's also a discussion, on the E10 topic on the "Do it Yourself, Boating on a Budget" forum http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/d...uys-using.html that I have been jumping back and forth to, which you might want to also read. It contains some other thoughts that weren't in this forum.

soldier4402, car engines are built on an assembly line & do not suffer the continued abuse of high rpm operation for long lengths of time, Take a car engine (350-454) whatever run it at 4-5000rpm & see how long it lasts, Do the same with an identical boat engine I rest my case.Randy

Im pretty sure on your standard engines everything is the same minus the cooling system, painting them black to be corrosion resistant and the externals being supposed marine ie starter, alternator, etc.
