I read the article on the old NASCAR motors, they used the intakes, blocks and heads. By the time they were done weren't they injected and well over 400" ??? I remember it being a big deal they used NASCAR sb2's but by the time I finished the artid I was surprised they bothered sticking with that platform considering how little they used.
I learned a while ago, a boat motor has some $$$$ expensive accessories automotive engines don't. Those alone almost double the price. Hell the 565 in my garage now has a $1,000 sea pump on it!

Aww man, why did this guy have to be from Central Ohio... And about my same age. And a farmer (I HATE farmers - federal subsidies, crop insurance etc... dont get me started)

I think I found his boat for sale sale on Craigslist!

An appropriate name for it is either "Fireball" or "Blaze of Glory" - Can't decide.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BopWKDH5gc Here's a video of way2fastforu's ride. Wow! Was that a 47 or 48mph flyby?

So2fast5u

Yup 47 mph or so on my gps at 4000 rpm with a labed prop I was trying out.

Oh umm was there a point in putting it on this thread cause this fella started it looking for help on his boat and now for some ignorant reason you put a video of my family boat on here??? U really just don't have a life do u. I never clamed to have the fastest boat or the best engine skills but I can help this guy where none of u really can. Unless u buy him a motor of Craigslist (Yeah I bet that's a good one) or send him to some high dollar shop. As u can see my boat runs just fine just the same as his would when done..

So you want some guy, who knows NOTHING about you, especially considering you just joined the site a couple weeks ago, (some of us been on here 10 years), to send his engine to you for repair. Then you spout off about how you wouldn't bother getting a new crate replacement engine, because you can rebuild his for pennies. And YOU DID claim to know more than anyone who replied to this thread about building engines. You told us we were a bunch of stupid, ignorant, fat, dummies who overspend our money on "marine" engines, which according to you, are nothing more than a car engine.

How can you give a ballpark price, when you don't even know the extent of his damage? For all we know, his crank might be toast, his rods bent, valve seats and valves junk, lifters galled up, and block rusted beyond passing a sonic test.

So, the reason we jumped on your a$$, is because you clearly don't have much experience, and more than likely leading the original poster in the wrong direction. If a engine needs a basic refresh, by all means you "freshen it up". But once you have major failures to the point of rod knocking, dropping valves, cracked heads, etc, with a STOCK 7.4L mercruiser, you're much better off getting a BRAND NEW replacement engine. You'll be time and money ahead in the long run.

You're arguing with guys who have built and rebuilt dozens and dozens of marine engines, and been doing it for many years. Some of which have rebuilt anything from a 330HP 454 to 1300hp pump gas engines. You've made your insults, you've gave your opening arguments. Maybe, just maybe, being a new guy, who can quite possibly learn a TON from this site as I have over the years, you'd consider shutting your mouth, and listening and learning something. your not impressing anyone with your "I can build a 750HP marine engine for 5,000" bullchit. We have all been there, and done that 10x over.

Damn dude, you really are my hero!!!

So2fast5u

I never gave him a price that could not be done till the motor was apart. I would not expect him to send me his motor and never asked him to. I did say if he was closer I could help him. U could build a thousand engines a yr that don't men u know anything dip ****. I have beet guys that build engines for a fu$&ing living and they just scratch there head. Guys like Don Ott, roush Yates, Jay dickens. They all build marine motors too.

So just because someone is new to this site means there a dum a$$ and are going to be smart as hell after they take your advice..........yeah right!!

baditude

According to this guy's youtube page he is a habitual douche that needs to learn how to spell, and take a grammar lesson. I didn't know hooked on phonics offered engine building classes.
