Mercury's engine nomenclature has my head whirling, and
I'm not sure I know enough of the basics to ask even a comprehensible question, but I'd like to know how much the common (older?) classes of marinized engines weigh and how much space they occupy.
Except for Ilmor, most of them (and the various engine-builders') are Small- or Big-block Chevvys, yes? plus fall-offs.
Including all the jewelry and fall-offs, is there a site of anybody's acquaint that can tell me a 500HO(?) weighs 850lbs(?) w/o fluids and a 525EIF(?) weighs .... and is L x W x H big?
How much does a Six weigh, v. a Bravo 1 or TRS?
etc.
Yes, I am thinking of re-powering boat(s) and converting them to lightweight diesels.
