any plans for a v8 gm type engine?
 

That would be cool and i think would compete better in the mercury flooded marked!!! get to work!

Ilmor is producing both raw-water and close-cooled versions of the 5.7 (old smallblock) and 6.0/6.2 (LS series) engines for MasterCraft. Hard to say where else that might take them, but the production capability is there...

Very much so...............:coolcowboy:

so their is one in the works?

This is all true.........:drink:

I guess that the issue right now would be an outdrive. The Indy drive is way overkill, requires a transmission, and is priced too high for the "typical V8" market. For Ilmor to get into building 600+ hp V8's doesn't make sense given their investment in the V10 platform. On the other hand, if the supply of V10's dries up, then Imor would have to go elsewhere.

On the other hand, If you really want one, Teague will sell you a supercharged and injected 850 hp big block mated to an Indy drive RIGHT NOW. Just call him.

I would rather see a ci increase to 700 or so to get the n/a power up over 900 than go down to a SC V8. If the V10s go away maybe Ilmor could build its own?

:offtopic:
Sorry for the hijack, but can the Ilmor build small block's run with a bravo drive, and how much hp are they?

And back to topic:drink:

im going to bet something is in the works... my left nut.. i think... what do i win? lol

Nothing is in the works. ITS IN PRODUCTION in Mooresville, NC. Only being installed in Mastercraft ski boats right now. We were just certified for competition use today!!

Good old Google. These are from the MasterCraft blog.

5.7 Ski boat package with ZF transmission. Note the proprietary intake system and catalytic converters integrated into the exhaust manifolds.

There more than "a few" of them lined up on the paint line. Apparently, there are also both raw-water and closed-cooled versions.

6.0 liter LS-based package, and stacks of 6.0 and 6.2 long blocks. This is no rumor.

LS motors are lame!

If they would build some marinized Hemi's based on the new Ray Barton designed World Product produced Mopar Hemi blocks THEN Ilmor would really have something exciting!

Now we just need a "Little INDY" for the V 8 `s

Lame? I don't know about that; they're just not big displacement. They make good power for their size without having to get carried away. 420 hp from a warrantied and catalyzed 6.2 seems pretty good in my book. I think that they have a lot of potential for the stock, mid-power mainstream market.

If you want to go for big power, marinizing the Ray Barton package would give you something unique and very expensive, but with all sort of custom-made marinization parts. Doesn't seem worth the effort, when there are tons of Chevy-based platforms out there, or even the new quad-cam Mercury 1350's and 1100's. Those are truly sophisticated engines.

:party-smiley-004: :kiss:

What's the largest displacement "generally available" LS engine? The 505 hp LS7? It's not listed as a Marine engine; wonder how much work it would take. Who else is playing with marinized LS engines?

just finished mine ls 2 stroked to 403 cid whit foged rottation assembly and the ls7 drysump system mounted ,used a mast motorsport ecm package and closed cooling set of the pcm z06 . 560hp@6100 and 500+ of tq from 3000 till 6200 tops at 544@4000 rpm

It's doable but it's alot customize work the first time after that you know what to do !
