That really doesn't look all that much different then these two. From what I can gather on KEM's and Marine power I think GM builds the base motor for them to add the closed cooling etc. KEM has a dyno results over 600lb at 3000 rpm

cool engine, but that is catering to the most-hated group of 'boaters', wakesurfers. Gawd how I hate the inconsiderate a$$hats that don't give two $hits about their destructive wakes.

I heard that! I have a floating dock and they do donuts in front of my house all weekend long. I have to check it every couple of months for broke welds. Im actually shocked its held up as well as it has for the 7 years Ive had it.
