Selling these for a friend, so right up front I can only represent what I have been told. After taking a close look and considering he is a stand up guy so I have every reason to believe him.

These were built by Kieth Hazel (rip) back in the day, rated at over 600 HP. Never in a boat, they were spares for a 42 Cig he has not owned in a while. Just test run on a stand. Have been in storage since then. And now they are in storage at my place .

I'll see what I can find out tommorrow re the cranks, pistons & rods, I know a guy that used to work for Kieth back then. We took some pictures today, and even though a little rough on the exterior they sure do look new inside. 0 corrosion in the exhaust ports, I have never seen that unless new.

Brodix heads, stud girdles, roller cam (can see the lifters). These are being sold as-is. They might very well be ready to run and probably are but if interested please be ready to at least pull the pans and also check the valve springs. No question the carbs should be rebuilt.

I will post more pics tommorrow, crating & shipping is no problem, we do that all the time.

He thinks they are worth at least $10k each, but will consider a reasonable offer.

We can arrange to fire them up, and even dyno them but that would add to the price.

More info - just talked to the guy that built them. Dynoed at about 675 HP, Crower crank & rods. JE pistons.

Mbam - if you get interest but they want to make some additional power let me know. We've got just the ticket for waking these Big Brodies up!


Bump to a nice set of motors

MBAM,im confused,how did you talk to the guy that built them.i read both post 1 and post 2.

I spoke with the guy that was working for Kieth at the time, he is still around and did the actual assembly. It would have been more accurate for me to have said in post 1 that they were built by "Kieth Hazel's Harbor 1". I could change it but I hate to edit posts.

MBAM,thanks,now i understand,i will talk to my buddy who wants to sell his boat and wants to keep his blower motors.

MBAM,do you know the compression ratio,are they set up to run on pump gas?

with "only" 675 HP i would asume PUMPGAS and around 9.5 :1 compr. maybe 10:1 !



My short deck 509 ci made 680 on 9.5:1 compr.

I dont have the coin but get that F-2 cig for 80K and these for 20K and youlll have a sweet set up for 100K.

THey were never run in a boat? 20K sounds good to me

Mike,

Don't know at this time, I'll make a call and see if I can find out. I am guessing pump gas. I'll also take a look at the pistons with my borescope and see if they are domes/flat/inverted.

Yes, I think this is a good deal if you have a use for them.

No signs of corrosion, the cylinders are oiled nicley from what I can see. I would sure change out all the hoses & impeller however !! They have been sitting for a long time.
