gm Cleveland repower
im lookin at a Active Class Patrol Boat, it currently has a pair of 300 hp 8cyl gm Cleveland deisels, i was wondering how feasable repowering it with a much more modern deisel, say a cat c15, u can easily tune them up to 1000hp with out breaking a sweat, i would have to assume they would be more efficient

(still might happen, workin on convincing the warden this is a deep sea salvage vessel with cranes n miles of cable with multiple digit ton capacity (it'll pay for it self wink wink) but have a few deals on the fire, will have a nice chunk of calitol to pile on some leaf batterys a bit of solar, repower to something from this century and go from there
